This is interesting, in ubuntu 8.04/8.10 and 9.04 the fglrx driver
works fine, only issues i am running into is 3d windows games under
wine. all the Linux native stuff runs like a champ.
I know in 8.04 and 8.10 i had to run the driver from ATI's site
instead of a repo built driver, but in 9.04 they seem to have fixed
that.
Maybe install on an old drive and dissect why it works?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
