Comment 17 for bug 146515

Hi again,

well - I have hoped and prayed that Intrepid would bring a solution to this bug but alas: the driver activation just fails a bit more graceful - but still it fails.
During reboot after upgrade, an error msg appeared, stating 'Unsure what to do' regarding multible occurrences of flgrx [something]. But X started up nonetheless and everything appeared to work as before the upgrade, i.e. ATI driver doesn't work.
Then the 'Hardware Drivers' icon appeared and I go there to activate - and hit the designated Activate button, which launches a 'Download and Install' dialog box...which hangs and causes an application crash.

I reboot and this time no error on boot - and I do the Activate Hardware Drivers thing... which apparently works: it downloads the driver and I'm all excitement. I turn on the visual effects under appearence and behold: It does not turn white on me, leaving me blindfolded - but it turns back to 'No visual effects'.

Only thing changed afaik: Graceful fail!

I attach my Xorg.0.log.
