Bug Description

In AMD64, after installing the new fglrx-modaliases, Jockey still doesn't list fglrx as an option. If I manually install the fglrx package, it does list it, but fails when I attempt to select it, claiming that I'm holding broken packages (no broken or held packages).

After manually installing fgrlx, changing the device driver from "radeon" to "fglrx" in xorg.conf, and restarting X, X core dumps. I assume there's something Jockey would do to the xorg.conf file to avoid this:

<pre>
(--) fglrx(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics " (Chipset = 0x9612)
(--) fglrx(0): (PciSubVendor = 0x103c, PciSubDevice = 0x3045)
(==) fglrx(0): board vendor info: third party graphics adapter - NOT original ATI

(==) fglrx(0): ROM-BIOS at 0x000c0000
(II) fglrx(0): AC Adapter is used

Jockey has no problem identifying fglrx as a possible driver on my system. However, I get the exact same segmentation fault on my fresh install of 10.04b1 after fglrx is installed and the system rebooted.
