This is what I'm running: whatever they (ATI) are saying I should on the website. And it works great, except Beryl/Compiz won't work, people said I should install XGL server first... Which seems a bit too heavy to me. And since I have very little time to experiment with my workhorse, I decided to wait for "native" support. Oh... Look what I found: http://digg.com/linux_unix/AMD_8_42_4_Display_Driver_AIGLX_Is_Here http://digg.com/linux_unix/AMD_8_42_4_Display_Driver_AIGLX_I... .... This does not include support for the FireGL series, but the workstation compatibility will be introduced next month in fglrx 8.43... It appears I need to wait a little more :-)

Ah, yes, you need XGL, ATI does not yet support AIGLX (or the other way around). XGL works great in Gutsy, it installs easily (apt-get xserver-xgl). The problem is that OpenGL doesn't seem to work under Xgl so you either get 3D apps or a 3D desktop for now. Wait a little longer. I'd like to get off Xgl as well since it's not very stable yet.
