Comment 11 for bug 36316

After googling I found out that it has a X1xxx/FireGLV5200-series (ie. R500-class) card. Yes, no need to try, it just doesn't work.

There is actually a working 2D driver for these cards already written, unfortunately ATI/AMD has not given the coder a permission to release it (the coder is under NDA). They have not denied it, but because permission is needed nothing has been going forward. Not too nice.

I'd suggest changing the importance to "Wishlist", since there's nothing Ubuntu can do about this. It's up to AMD.
