Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
Distribution: Hardy Alpha 5 updated to Hardy Beta
System: Thinkpad T42
Graphics: Mobility Radeon 9600 M10
If I enable compiz over System->Preferences->Appearance->Desktop
Effects: "Normal Effects" it automatically wants to install the FGLRX
driver although compiz is running fine with the free xorg-ati driver on
my video card. I don't want to switch to the non-free (unstable) fglrx
driver. I know the "ati" driver has a slower 3d performance, but
switching to fglrx should be optional.
Hardy Alpha 5 didn't force me to change the driver. And it should use
AIGLX, like it did in Gutsy.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ compiz --replace
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Found laptop using ati driver.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
