Can someone explain why 8.12 still does not work under Ubuntu Intrepid?

Is this off a fresh install or only after installing other drivers first ?

Fresh install. I've tried it both ways, actually. I'll try the new 9-1 to see if anything changes, and let you know.

Sorry - I should add that there were some newer fglrx drivers available in debian/lenny that I upgraded to, and that's when it stopped working. (Gives the same result as using Ati's installer)

Actually, I saw that there were some newer driver modules available in debian/lenny - and that seemed to fix it for me. I can even get wine working, mostly.
