Well, that is disappointing.

Does anyone know if the 4650 will be supported in Ubuntu 9.04?

As for testing with your 6.12.0 version, I honestly wouldn't know where to start. If there are instructions available somewhere for what I'd have to copy and/or install on my vanilla Ubuntu 8.10 system to work with what you're describing, I might be willing, but with just that much info I am totally lost.

Also, I should ask about the fglrx driver. I tried installing that before reporting this problem and had no luck with that either. Is it the case that the version of that available through ubuntu is also old enough that it doesn't support the 4650? I'm a bit confused there because I found this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/325431

before I submitted my own.

9.04 is only a month (or 3) away, I suppose. But time will tell, and that only matters if that release will support the 4650.

Thanks very much for your help. As I say, if there are instructions or something that will help me test with the new version of things you're describing, I'll try it.
