Hi,

I faced the fglrx bug on my Jaunty upgrade with my EliteBook 8530p and ATI HD 3650.
I solved it with the Catalyst version 9.5 and 9.6 (8.620) which seems quite stable (the --acpi-services=off was still necessary) downloaded from the ATI site. 

I've also tryed the Catalyst 9.7, 9.8 and the latest 9.9. But:
- 9.7 and 9.8 have an annoying black flickering when paging up and down (for example inside a Gnome Terminal at full screen, or in Firefox)
- 9.9 is IMHO completely broken, just after the installation I got a Kernel NULL pointer error

Obviously I'm sticking to 9.6 :-)

So my question is: which version of Catalyst are you using for Karmic?

Thanks.
Luca
