Comment 36 for bug 274234

2 Sorin, I guess not. We have:
xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu3~nodither
xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2.1

Thus, ~nodither is going to prevail, unless ubuntu3 without "~" is released (which will supercede the "~" AFAIK). You should manually choose the right version in Synaptic (Package->Specify version...)

2 Martin, my card is listed in the bug description and further comments. For the record, it is
ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
(ChipID = 0x9581)

This is certainly not a regression (at least on my hardware), since I could not even start Xorg with the previous driver version, as described in the first post as well. But I agree, that the update needs broader testing. Shall I revert "verification-done" to "verification-needed"?
