ATI cards and the "fglrx" driver

[Lachlan Musicman]

Cheers - it does seem to work.

Now, I have another problem.

Over on this thread there seems to be some success:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303013&page=2&highlight=ATI+beryl+X1300

I'm not sure what all this glxgears is that people are talking about,
but a new x session gave me all the prettiness that I've been seeing
in the youtube clips - wavy terminals, crazy block desktops and lots
of nice movement.

I'm running edgy 6.10 on the dell dimension 9200 with 256M ATI X1300
on flgrx drivers.

One thing - I did get a bug report pop up and response with that was
slow. I don't know where to post it? Should it go here, in the ubuntu
bugtracker or the beryl bug tracker?

please find report attached if you can help me help us?
