Looks like my previous report was largely premature. After looking deeper into issue I've found that my initial "ati" driver install and configuration somehow get screwed up along with some other components like libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri.
All at a sudden I found "direct rendering" reset to NO and glxgears showing extremely low frame rate. After re-installing everything, then running dpkg-reconfigure xserver- xorg I have things running way faster, and I get back my "direct rendering". glxgears shows frame rate about 8 (!) times faster then before. I do not know yet, if the "no signal" problem has gone. I hope so very much. I'll watch it. It seems that I misunderstood the "fix released" message as well. I thought I get it on my Hardy with one of the latest updates. Then I realized that it affected Karmic only. Again, sorry, for the premature report. -- [RV280 9250] No signal to monitor in 8.04 unless NoDRI used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293698 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
