Hello,

I installed 8.27.10 and am getting around 1700 fps with glxgears on my T42p.

It took me a bit to figure out how to install it, though.  Perhaps you made a misstep?

1)  run /usr/share/fglrx/fglrx-uninstall.sh  as su
2)  chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86.run
3)  then run the installer as root

When I hadn't run the uninstall first, or hadn't done the chmod on the installer, I was
getting a checksum error.

Good luck

Don A
