Try asking ATI. Maybe if ATI asks asus someone will work something out
since without sources (which ati has) you can't tell what is going wrong
in the driver really. I imagine it is some simple setting they got
wrong in the new bios. Or perhaps you have to set a new option
different than the default in the new bios.

Is there a radeon driver on ubuntu? If so does it break too?

Well it is certainly not a good move on their part. Linux users might
stop recomending Asus, which I know a lot have been, since they have
generally been very well built and very well supported.

I agree the changelogs are pathetic for their bios upgrades.

It would be a shame if one of the best motherboard vendors end up going
down because of that kind of attitude.
Does it affect the ati windows drivers I wonder... :)
Unfortunately it probably doesn't.
