Ubuntu and Ati mobility x600 on acer aspire 1800

Plutonic · 12-04-2005, 04:21 PM

Hello,

I am having some minor problems getting my video card working properly on my Ubuntu 5.10, the installation on my laptop was quite smooth, got wireless networking up with wpa-psk encryption etc, and allmost everything else runs out of the box..

Have installed the fxglr driver for ATI, but can't seem to run UT smoothly. When i ran windows everything was fine, and i know it can be fine with linux as well.

Here is some configuration file information:

I generated my xorg.conf through fxglrconfig.

Don't know if anyone needs more information to solve this, just can't figure this out on my own. Been through lots of wiki pages, and message boards, but most problems were that direct rendering doesn't work, mine does work, but not good enough..

My mouse won't even move ok in Unreal Tournament. Haven't tried other games yet, could be the game as well. Installed with a native loki installer.

Hope someone can help me out.

But what kind of error? Also look for your xlog (it's somewhere in /var/log.. Xorg.log or something), there may be more logs related to fglrx, but I wouldn't know cause I'm still new here

have you read the gentoo ati faq?

Everything works just fine, but glxgears isn't performing like it should and my games run very terrible with mouse delays etc.

Maybe it is just some extra setting for my ati card, or because it is amobility card, i don't know.

Really need some help on this one.
