Strange as it seems, 8.02 (8.45.5) works pretty well for me. I have an R580+ on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04 Alpha 4), running a single display.
- Desktop effects (compiz-fusion) works (OK...so what's the big deal?)
- Video playback with VLC and Movie-Player no longer shows tearing. Overall image quality may be slightly degraded, I can't decide.
- No phunnies with the control panel
- Glxgears works fine, albeit at 10,500 it is about 1000 fps slower than 8.37
- scrolling in firefox (3b3) is downright smooth and speedy.
I know a lot of people are having problems with this one, but for me it works pretty well, and is much superior to 8.01
The only problem I am having is that Ubuntu's update mangler keeps telling me that there is a newer version of the xorg-driver-fglrx and kernel headers available in repository, but they are still 8.01. Annoying, and I have to remember to deselect those packages when I run the updater.
