Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

The card works great under 9.10 with Catalyst drivers installed from
ATI, and under Windows. Booting off of the Lucid Lynx Beta 2
installation CD end with the screen going black and the monitors
shutting off. I installed off of the alternate install CD, did a system
rescue, and installed the fglrx drivers. X came on up on next reboot and
I selected to "activate" the fglrx driver (which caused a crash I wasn't
able to report), rebooted, and I believe I am up an running. Lucid Lynx
is absolutely stunning BTW!

The video performance is really bad, surprising since this is the
"fastest commercially available card". Moving a windows around causes
tearing. Any sort of fading results in the object flashing The Catalyst
Control Center allows setting up the monitors correctly, but identifies
the video card as "Unknown adapter". This may be due to the 5970
actually being 2 video cards in one?
