I have a problem with 9.1 Everything works actually great and a bit less flickering when watching movies. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and when ever I resume from hibernate I get a green bar atop the screen for a few seconds, which i can live with, however once I log into the desktop... say about a minute or two in the screen freezes and I have to restart the computer. None of the keys work so I cant log out. Anyone else?

btw. Isn't better to support Fedora instead of Ubuntu and therefore to support both of them?Last edited by NSLW; 30 January 2009, 04:52 PM.

nvidia supports no distri (officially). And.. I have no problems with ati - or not more than with nvidia. New driver - rename ebuild, emerge. Done.
Fedora is a crapfest. kernels full with experimental patches, constantly moving. Some weird X prereleases. You can't blame someone for not supporting that mess. If you want a supported distri - wel lthere is RHEL or if you don't want to shell out money - Novell's Suse products.

I didn't restart X in between.
Worked fine. Though I made sure no monitor/screen sections were in the xorg.conf that were using the HD3200 (according to Xorg.conf).
djdoo@linux-b7zr:~> aticonfig --lscc

And do an aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
Tell me something what version of Xorg does 8.04 Ubuntu have??

@Heiko:
It's 7.3 indeed...
I asked you this cause I had enabled Hybrid Crossfire with openSuSE 11 which was shipped with Xorg 7.3 again at 64-bits back from the first driver supporting Hybrid Crossfire (I think it was 8.11?) even though it was not announced formally from AMD I read it at Phoronix from Michael and it really worked! Exactly the same way I tried to enable it with openSuse 11.1 and Xorg 7.4!
Note that the previous 8.12 driver showed me the HD 3200 card as a candidate for Crossfire ONLY at suse 11 and Xorg 7.3!!!
When I used 8.12 at Xorg 7.4 it showed me none Crossfire candidate!
First time I saw my HD 3450 as a crossfire candidate was today with Catalyst 9.1 driver.

With 9.1 I now get an "Unsupported Hardware" message in the lower right of the screen.
This is with a Sapphire 2600HD XT AGP. Now can anyone confirm whether this is a change of behaviour from previous Catalyst releases for Linux or if there's simply something wrong with my install?
I've checked that both /etc/ati/signature and /etc/ati/control match those from the install package.
Should it be the case that all future Catalyst releases will mark this kind of card as such is there a way to disable the logo? After all I really don't need to be continually reminded...

*No more desktop effects. Have to reboot. Another bug that they don't fix. Nothing that required 3D works:
