** Description changed:

  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"
+ when i look into the Xorg.0.log (attached) then i find the Error "EE Invalid Video 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
