Well, you received a reply to your bug from an -ati triager within a day of your report, which you indicate partially helped. Compared with the many bugs in Launchpad which never get a reply, it seems you're getting pretty decent service. Take care that you don't confuse ATI/AMD's support for bug support in launchpad. They do not deal directly with ubuntu bug reports, only ones that we upstream to them. If you wonder whether we are upstreaming -ati bugs, indeed yes we are. Look at the upstream report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport -ati has the highest % bugs upstreamed of all the major video drivers. AMD employs an engineer to work on -ati bugs, and indeed of the bugs I've upstreamed, he responds and usually fixes the majority of them. So you may question their level of support, but I don't! If you are anxious to get your issue upstreamed, you're welcome to upstream it yourself. We've documented the guidelines for doing this here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Triaging#Reporting X issues upstream Bryce -- MASTER: fglrx does not support xserver 1.6 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
