Radeon HD 7850 - so likely using LLVMpipe, which would explain the slowness.
Instead of the Catalyst (fglrx) driver from AMD's website, try opening System Settings and selecting Additional Drivers from the Hardware section, and use that to install the Ubuntu packaged fglrx driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101970 Title: Ubuntu very slow Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: -IGNORE THE PACKAGE AND DEBUG INFO, I DON'T THINK THIS IS WHAT'S CAUSING THIS- Allcaps aside, Ubuntu's been VERY slow graphics-wise ever since I got my new Radeon HD 7850. Not a hardware issue, Windows works fine with it for gaming. My FPS is normal at the login screen, but goes down once I log in When I go to the System Settings screen, it doesn't even know what card and driver I'm using, and unfortunately the driver I got off of AMD's website has an unsatisfiable dependency.
