I've packaged the new fglrx driver, and put the debs up for testing on Gutsy:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/

Note this is for Gutsy (linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22).

These are the packages I installed in my tests: fglrx-control, xorg-
driver-fglrx, fglrx-kernel-source, linux-restricted-modules-common,
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22

Also turn off Composite if you have it on (fglrx doesn't support it)
fglrxinfo and glxgears are useful to verify its working

This bug was fixed in newer versions of fglrx, which is now available
in Gutsy.

There are no plans to add fglrx 8.37.6 to Feisty officially, but I've
created .debs for Feisty users needing this fix. These are available
at http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/fglrx-8.37.6-Feisty/
Despite being unofficial, please feel welcome to report new bugs with
these packages to launchpad.

Please help spread word and help fellow users in installing it!

This doesnt solve the screen hardlocking problem yet. Wen i Restart my system with an x1800xt after installing the fglrx drivers all i get is a black screen. The bug is same as #117013 filed on the bugzilla. I am reporting this here as this has been marked there as a duplicate bug.

I'm closing this as fixed since the initial bug report (x1300 support) was addressed. Bugs 117013 and 123749 have been de-duped to track the separate issues of backporting this to feisty and getting x1800 support respectively. x1800 is implemented in a newer fglrx driver, so we'll get that into Gutsy for Tribe-4, perhaps earlier.
