Comment 5 for bug 103813

I had given up on this and used the radeon driver for a while, but I recently re-enabled the binary driver in an attempt to get accelerated 3d again.

The error is still there on my up-to-date Feisty, and 3D acceleration still doesn't work. I am using the normal fglrx binary-only restricted module which is built/provided in the standard Ubuntu repositories. Some snippets from my dmesg which may be relevant:
