Public bug reported:

Right i have just upgraded to 9.04 20th May.

Things have been a little unstable and slow compared to 8.10 when i
enabled my propriety ATI driver for my 2660 HD pro card. Then my sound
broke a day or so after. This was not acceptable so I tried to fix it
thinking the user was at fault but with no success.

So i initially had sound working over HDMI after the base install **
with a pulse audio tweak see end of message. This was not very good
until pulse audio seems to adjust itself.

Then the sound stopped working today 22 May, I was not sure why.

Even after first enabling the propriety driver i experienced problems
using the native display control tool to change settings for the LCD i
am using. It would hang and not load just sitting there or even crash
the machine.

Trying to get VLC to go full  screen after setting the video screen to
crop 16:10 and deintelace Bob the screen would blank and them nothing.

There seemed to be a long delay from login to getting a working desktop
with the screen flashing and elements appearing and disappearing.

Eventually the system comes up and was semi stable. After the audio
stopped working i reinstalled the whole system from scratch getting
updates from the internet during install and immediatly after first
boot.  The audio again did not work after a fresh install.

After a few hours of work I downloaded the Latest ATI release of the
proprietry driver. This seems to have solved a lot of the issues i was
experiencing with the ubuntu driver version.

Sound now works, startup is smoother, faster and the display panel works
nicely as expected. VLC is untested yet but i don't want to loose this
report.

The AtI version I downloaded from the site was 9-5 and contains version
of the drivers 8.61.2 & OpenGL 2.1.8664

As a side note to get sound working on this graphics card i have to make
these changes see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009407
