So if I understand correctly, many ATI chipsets will no longer be supported by the fglrx driver under Ununtu and some other distributions of Linux. No atempt will be made by AMD to maintain support for even relatively recent chipsets and using the fglrx driver is really just gambling. This means Ubnuntu users need to switch to NVIDIA cards. I have been strugling with this bug/problem for several weeks and am ready to give up. Am I understanding this correctly?
