Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
On my Compaq Presario R4125US I loaded the repository drivers via the following route:
1.) sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
adding lines:
2.) Installed the linux-restricte
3.) sudo depmod -a
4.) sudo aticonfig --initial
5.) sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
6.) sudo shutdown -r now
Upon reboot, I get this when I go to the CLI and type fglrxinfo:
frog@kubuntu:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)
frog@kubuntu:~$
This tells me the drivers are loaded properly and I can now play Scorched3D without issues. However, if I attempt to restart or shutdown the system, my laptop hangs and fails to shutdown or reboot. I have to physically shut it off by holding the ON/OFF button down for three seconds. Not certain if it's a driver issue or something else. Please investigate this.

Thanks for reporting this bug. ATI has released a newer fglrx with a fix for this issue.
I've packaged the fglrx driver, and put the debs up for testing on Gutsy:

I notice in the changelog, that the new fglrx has fixes for this exact
problem. Josh Andler has this bug with fglrx and has confirmed that
with these debs, it goes away. Still, additional testing on Gutsy would
be much appreciated.
These are the packages I installed in my tests: fglrx-control, xorg-
driver-fglrx, fglrx-kernel-
linux-restricte
Also turn off Composite if you have it on (fglrx doesn't support it)
I've heard it needs to be turned off by setting
Option "Composite" "0"
rather than "Disable", but have not confirmed this.
fglrxinfo and glxgears are useful to verify things are working properly.
