Hey,
i kept on searching tweaks for my ATI driver on ubuntu to be able to use Pd
in a efficient way ('cause the downgrade didn't sound so cool since i just
installed 9.04).I finally found this links, and the tweaks explained in there are really helping. Motionblur works nicely and i can use [gemframebuffer] and glsl-related. CPU is still high&higher but i will look into it. So this stuff could help someone else too in the future: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver also tons of other options are available via terminal --> man radeon (but this is not a big discovery) cheers M 2009/8/14 Marco Donnarumma <[email protected]> > mmm.. i found out the truth. > i write this just for information (probably most of you already know it but > it can be useful to post it anyway). > > catalyst 9.3 and earlier drivers don't support x 1.6 and catalyst 9.4 > doesn't support a bunch of older radeon cards (as mine). > This means the only option one has is to downgrade to ubuntu 8.10. > > M > > > > 2009/8/14 Marco Donnarumma <[email protected]> > >> Thanks Jack, >> as IOhannes confirmed it is probably a driver problem (anyway i don't >> think i can make faster my pacth with [pix_snap] and family since they will >> eat my cpu.., i prefer to manage this driver issue). >> >> @IOhannes >> >> gfx card: >> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility >> X1600] >> >> driver: >> xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2 >> xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2 >> >> i suggest using the latest (urgh) proprietary drivers to get decent openGL >> performance... >> >> yes, keep on looking i found out the same suggestion in other forums. >> ok, i'll try to install that right away ..
