3D Acceleration in Ubuntu


It seems like I've tried everything to get 3d acceleration going in ubuntu. I have an ati radeon 9250.
Here's some information. I really hope somebody can help.

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)


Xorg.conf is the following
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following commands:
#
# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.custom
# sudo sh -c 'md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf >/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum'

alright hang on dude.... you ahve an ati but it says intel in your xorg, and you are telling it to use teh ati driver.. did you install the ati rpms? get them from ati. edit your xorg.conf file right and you get it to work. if you didnt build the driver, then it wont work. are you maybe saying intel i915 cause of the motherboard? cuase then it is ati video card. that is the best i can tell you. get the identifier right. and the driver. and make sure your system can handle all the modules you are loading at first.

right, it looks better now, but still did you actually build the drivers? you will have to get an rpm from ati... i think, i mean debian has apt, but i dont knwo if the drivers are very uptodate in it....
if you did do that, then i dont know. if you used apt, get the one from ati and build it by hand. if you did get the one from ati, then i am not sure...
