Public bug reported:

hello there

i'm not sure if it is correct to file this issue, because i have found similiar bugs in launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/355495
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/346028

but still, i get a different error message...

but everything in order:
i own an EEE 1000HV, similar built to the 1000HE, but with a dedicated Mobility Radeon HD 3450
i installed 9.04 with a live cd and updated the system
after that i went to the hardwaremanager and it showed me one possible proprietary driver for my graphics card
i installed it, rebootet - and crashed! the only thing i got to see was at first a "flashing" prompt shell which soon after changed into a green line on top of the display...or sometimes into a double blurred green ubuntu logo

when i look into the Xorg.0.log (attached) then i find the Error "EE Invalid Bios Signature"
normally this would meen that my graphics card is not supported, right? but i know people using e.g. a Dell Studio 1537  with exact the same card and they can use the fglrx (or even launchpad users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/358064)

i've tried to install the fglrx by:
hardware manager
synaptic
shell prompt
envyng
ati catalyst 9.5 + 9.6 (installer as well as manually with craeting packages)

is it a ubuntu issue? or an amd issue? or is it a netbook issue? or even
a OEM issue?

if you need any further logs or anything, please tell me
cheers
