The penalty occours when trying any application that uses OpenGL. The frame rates drops like 30% on any application that uses 3D acceleration (like on to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/) compared with Ubuntu 12.04 provided drivers.
I will flag this bug report as resolved. Since I managed to get fglrx to recognize my video card again. sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases sudo apt-get install ia32-libs cd ~/; mkdir catalyst12.1; cd catalyst12.1/ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb sudo aticonfig --initial -f sudo reboot The one thing is that Unity still doesn't launch/shows as before. I will file another bug report about it (If doesn't exits). Meanwhile will start using Gnome Shell that seems to be working now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068411 Title: 1002:9712 fglrx driver doesn't recognize my ATI RS880M Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1068411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
