[Bug 365974] Re: [Xpress 1250] unstable compared to 8.10.

 

** Description changed:

  In Mint 6.0, based on Ubuntu 8.10, after installation the system
  automatically found a working, proprietary driver to load for the ATI
  Xpress 1250. Using this OR the open driver was great. Admittedly, the
  overall look/feel wasn't as good as the open is on 9.04, and the
  catalyst control center was buggy (could not dual screen like I can
  now), but right now I get unstable screen flicker 1-3 times every 5
  seconds...almost as if a mini power surge is going through the computer.
  
  Additionally, I'm unable to run any 3d rendering or Compiz, which I was
  before.
