Problems with Ubuntu 8.10 on a Sony Vaio VGN-NR498E
Hey guys, I just recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my Sony laptop, and all is well with it, EXCEPT for the video driver, is what I'm guessing it is anyways. I tried to get Avant Window Navigator to work, and it gave me an error, telling me that my screen wasn't composited? Then it told me to run "compiz", so I ran that, and AWN started working, but if I exit terminal, AWN closes down and it screws up my screen. So I finally got everything set up on AWN just the way I want it and now, with terminal still running, here is all it says in terminal:
Code:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed.
Checking for Software Rasterizer: Not present.
Checking for nVidia: not present.
Checking for FBConfig: present.
running under gnome seesion, checking for gnomecompat
Checking for Xgl: not present.
/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
Any clues? Because I'm lost. |
