So if I understand correctly, many ATI chipsets will no longer be
supported by the fglrx driver under Ununtu and some other distributions
of Linux. No atempt will be made by AMD to maintain support for even
relatively recent chipsets and using the fglrx driver is really just
gambling. This means Ubnuntu users need to switch to NVIDIA cards. I
have been strugling with this bug/problem for several weeks and am ready
to give up. Am I understanding this correctly?
