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?
