FGLRX in Ubuntu Intrepid

The fglrx driver for ATI graphics cards has finally been made available for Intrepid, so I gave it a shot on my Inspiron 1501. On the whole, it's a lot faster and smoother than the open source radeon driver and doesn't leave you with the ugly but momentary artifacts on the screen. Nice.

Unfortunately though it breaks suspend and hibernate, so until ATI can work out the bugs, I'll just have to slog along with the open source driver.
