Alberto, In this case EnvyNG yields a broken installation because when Compiz loads (i.e., it uses 3D effects), you get a white screen instead of the expected 3D effects.
After some digging, I found this to be because the fglrx kernel module isn't loading. The reason the kernel module isn't loading is because there's no device stanza in xorg.conf which contains "fglrx". If I manually "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/IForgetTheExactPpathToTheEnvyNGVersionOf/fglrx.ko", I get 3D effects as expected. Note that I was careful to make sure that I wasn't loading a remnant of the older "Hardware Drivers" installed which is normally included in volatile/fglrx.ko. I don't have this same problem with the "Hardware Drivers" method of getting 3D effects. Unfortunately, my original problem is experienced with either the EnvyNG installed driver (I forget the exact version that ultimately got installed) or the "Hardware Drivers" installed driver. If I can find some time soon, I'll report it on the ATI bugtracker. -- [fglrx] Using fglrx causes excessive hardware interrupts and an extremely slow system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206337 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
