Ubuntu 8.04 vs Ubuntu 9.10

[Grayfoxra]

I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Graphics card that Ubuntu 9.10 doesn't seem to recognize no matter what I do. Knowing that its an older card and that ATI stopped support for it a while ago, I was wondering if anyone knows if I would have better luck on Ubuntu 8.04. I can't get 3d or opengl to work, or install the correct ATI Driver.

I would run 8.04 Live CD. Also another option would be to test Lucid Lynx, 10.04, but it is alpha 2 now, so lots of updates and not stable.

I have never tested HH, but I have to admit I am very interested due to all Karmic Koala graphic related issues.
And since it is LTS, why not?
