HI, could someone help me with this issue. i'm struggling to enable my 3D ati acceleration so could install google earth or play linux game 3D.
that's what i've done from the kubuntu desktop guide :
3D ATI Video Card Driver
Install the xorg-driver-fglrx package from the Restricted repository (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
echo fglrx | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
sudo depmod -a ; sudo modprobe fglrx
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
sudo sed -i -e 's/"ati"/"fglrx"/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
If you are using an NForce2-based motherboard you will also need to do the following:
kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Change “Section "Device"” add the following line:
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Restart your machine for changes to take effect.
After that i downloaded chromium but the 3D wasn't working.
i issue the fglrxinfo command and that the result :
harys@KWARYS:/$ fglrxinfo
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
