(This is for helping Daniel Moyne, but has nothing to do with the bug probably.)
Yes, I installed fglrx 8.31.5 manually and now I have 3D support ... or so I was told on the forum. Before: $ fglrxinfo Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1) After: $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic OpenGL version string: 2.0.6119 (8.30.3) This German Wiki article http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ATI- Grafikkarten/fglrx/Manuelle_Treiberinstallation about installing fglrx manually says that X300 Radeon is supported, but you can check that out yourself on the ATI website or in an English wiki. The fglrx package that is provided from the Ubuntu distro is supposed to do the same (it's just not the very newest version), but the wiki / the forum state that "sometimes it doesn't work" and then one should try the manual installation of the driver from the ATI website. -- [edgy][regression][rv280] black screen and console freeze when X starts - drm lockup https://launchpad.net/bugs/67487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
