@fermulator. Indeed, I thought something could be wrong with the latest patch of Ubuntu/8.10 xserver.
My card is an X1300. Yes, indeed we are screwed. For several reasons: 1) Staying with fglrx (even if it worked), woudl mean renounce to new releases of Ubuntu/Linux 2) Choosing the ati driver I noticed about 1/2 frames per second with respect to fglrx. It is not bad but the card works half it could. 3) I tried to install Ubuntu/8.04: the problem is still there with 9.3. I tried Ubuntu/8.10 with 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 8.12, but none of this seems to work. For a moment 9.1 gave me some hope, for a moment only. 4) Having found no way to make fglrx working (of course I haven't tried all the permutations/fixes--just a simple ati driver install), I see no other way that to stick to the ati driver. 5) The ati driver behaves not badly, but worse than fglrx. A possibility is that the legacy drivers will go open source--I really hope so. If not, we need to wait some saint hacker who keeps opening the way to a perfect opensource ati driver. -- fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
