I have tried both opensource and propriotary drivers in Ipex and Hardy and both works fine with the generic kernel, but when i try in realtime i have not been so lucky. I can't get any installer to work, tried the opensource solution listed here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver and the propriotary installer from ATI. the "system-> administration->hardware drivers" doesn't even see the card. Right now I'm using Ubuntustudio 8.04, but later today I plan to split my HD and install a Ubuntu 8.10 (generic) on the first half and Ubuntustudio 8.04 (rt) on the other half. Luckly I also got a new motherboard/cpu/ram, so instalation of Ubuntustudio only takes about 15 minutes :-) /Sandie -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
