[Launchpad Bug Tracker <415011@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Please update ATI proprietary drivers to 9.8 on Jaunty (at least).

Problem:
 * At least Kubuntu with ATI graphics card suffers from a great deal of problems. The desktop performance is terrible at best on most configurations with ATI. And the opensource drivers are no use either.
 * Kubuntu Jaunty dual screen configuration requires an experienced rocket scientist
 * Current drivers (fgrlx) crash on video playback for example

Solution:
 * Update ATI proprietary drivers to 9.8

Pros:
 * People after installing Kubuntu and getting the propriety drivers with Jockey could actually get a working system!
 * "Ubuntu 9.04 production support" is one of the new things in 9.8
 * ATI Catalyst™ Control Center - Linux Edition now supports XRANDR 1.2 and dual screen configuring
 * Everything would work (at least for the newer ATI cards, but the older ones didn't work anyway)

** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)
