    Bump?

    From what I'm seeing elsewhere, it seems many folks with ATI GPUs can't get this to work - nVidia and Intel issues have a workaround.

    Here's one set: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/...up-workaround/ (For Intel and nVidia GPUs)

    Still nothing on the ATI front, looks like someone (I don't know if its the Linux kernel, Canonical, Xorg, or ATI here) dropped the ball big time - but I'm not even using Catalyst drivers! I just want video, period...

    (Links to Launchpad issues appreciated)

    You have not said what model ATI card or video chip. It doe not look like you tried one comman solution, nomodeset kernel boot parameter. By default for some video chips including ATI, 10.04 uses new kernel mode setting (kms) video driver, and that parameter disables that for regular user space video modules.

    I had to use that parameter to fix slow video and broken suspend/hibernate on an older desktop with ATI X1300 AGP card, and to fix video glitches during boot for a laptop with Radeon Mobility X1300.
