Hi! Since this isn't directly connected to the bug, I'm sending this per mail.
I haven't been able to use the proprietary driver (fglrx) yet. After its installation, X doesn't start. The same happens if I run "aticonfig --initial" after installation. To get X working again, I had to remove these drivers. For that I had to start in recovery mode, start the root console, "apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx" and replace /etc/X11/xorg.conf by the backup created by aticonfig (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-0)... I don't know if there really is a "benefit" when installing the fglrx-drivers. The xorg radeon driver (default after Ubuntu installation) does not yet support accelerated 3D with the HD3XXX, yet its 2D-support is far superior to the one of fglrx. If you don't need 3D accelleration (some CAD-programs, games and the Desktop-Effects require it), I would suggest to stay with the open-source radeon drivers. 3D-support is beeing developed right now and will be available in a few month. My xorg.log is attached if that's any help for you. Another fact that might be of interest for you is how I got sound working: First I updated to the newest alsa release ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820959 ). I don't know if this is necessary, since the update alone didn't do anything. Then I added options snd-hda-intel model=m51va at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and rebooted.
