I'm on natty amd64:

Linux 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It worked without creating any link.
However i think packages generated are broken and they need some links.
Normal installations works fine though.

Hi,

promising! What distro/kernel and with or without making all the links etc
described in earlier postings?

With latest ati drivers (11.4) downloaded from the official site, on a
clean configuration and installed without generating packages
everything works.
Runnng the aquarium "test" I get 18 fps while fullscreen.

Running fgl_glxgears I get:
$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
2096 frames in 5.0 seconds = 419.200 FPS
2101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 420.200 FPS
2327 frames in 5.0 seconds = 465.400 FPS
2086 frames in 5.0 seconds = 417.200 FPS

I've corrected some links and now I have a configuration similar by
the one you can get by running this:
After doing exactly what was suggested here I can say that finally ATI
drivers work for me and I can switch between cards.
And finally with latest drivers I can use switcheroo to switch to one or
other card.

But unfortunately even with fglrx some things do not work (gnome-shell
task bar colours turn psychedelic :)

And I can't get hardware accelerated WebGL at all no matter what
configuration.
In fact on my computer (ATI 5470 + Intel i5) WebGL only works with
software rendering and if run like that it is fastest with open-source
Intel card on.

So test is:
Open Chromium browser and Start
http://webglsamples.googlecode.com/hg/aquarium/aquarium.html
click Change view to see external view (out of the aquarium)
click Options and enable everything

So with Ubuntu 11.04 open-source radeon drivers: (echo DDIS>
/sys/...../switch  and logoout ->    login)
4 FPS

With Ubuntu 11.04 open-source intel driver (  echo DIGD>
/sys/...../switch  and logoout ->    login)
22 FPS

WIth FGLRX installed
less htan 1 FPS

If I try with Firefox and disable mesa and software rendering of webgl,
it does not work at all.

Also I have some basic OpenGL examples that use GLUT and basic graphics
- blending, stencils and fog, they run much slower with radeon open
source than with intel opensource, and speed with fglrx is similar to
intel
