    Hello
    i tried the new drivers on my ubuntu gutsy machine.
    I blacklisted ubuntu driver and tested..they don't work, or better DRI doesn't work with them.
    Then i completely uninstalled ubuntu restricted package, and tried again, same result
    with those drivers DRI doesn't work..
    ...well if you were wanting help...you'd have to give us a bit more than just that...like the xorg log, fglrxinfo, glxinfo output for starters...and if glxgears works, fps of glxgears, etc...

    • hello
      now i reverted back to the drivers in ubuntu and fglrx works.
      But when i tried the new drivers:
      my glxgears worked, just showed me around 200fps
      fglrxinfo told me i was using mesa
      glxinfo told me no dri

      and here is my same xorg.conf, which works with fglrx in ubuntu

      Code:
      # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
      #
      # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
      # values from the debconf database.
      #
      # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
      # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
      #
      # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
      # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
      # package.
      #
      # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
      # again, run the following command:
      #   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

            Want to throw in your xorg log and the output for glxinfo/fglrxinfo when running catalyst 8.01 too?

            ...or you could wait for 8.02 and then give that a spin and see what comes of it. (if it still doesn't work...post the above information).
