Bug Description

The same config worked great with Hoary.

At the moment I use radeon 8500 in dual head mode.

-----------------------------------------------

Tried to build config file with : fglrxconfig

The same effects.

To reproduce this bug. Start X with this config
start fgl_glxgears

Grab window with spining cube and move it few times
on the screen.

On my machine, everytime X hangs. I need to login
with ssh and restart.

OK I just downloaded driver 8.18.8 from Ati website.
Followed this Howto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66334

I had to remove S15.... in init.d as it created old fglrx kernel module
during startup (I don't know why as I removed linux-restricted.... according
to howto).

Now with 8.18.8 it works fine. X is not hanging and works much stable.

When such driver is going to be introduced in Breezy ?
