ATI Radeon x1950 Video card


I am running ubuntu 9.04 on my system flawlessly for last 3 months. I am using ATI Radeon x1950 pro video card. I read/heard that this card is trouble. I am also running full compiz enabled. My question is which driver I am using? Here's my video card information using compiz-check (a wonderful lil program).


Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop environment: GNOME
Graphics chip: ATI Technologies Inc RV570 [Radeon X1950 Pro]
Driver in use: radeon
Rendering method: AIGLX

Checking if it's possible to run Compiz on your system...

Checking for texture_from_pixmap... [ OK ]
Checking for non power of two support... [ OK ]
Checking for composite extension... [ OK ]
Checking for FBConfig... [ OK ]
Checking for hardware/setup problems... [ OK ]


Thanks

Compiz-check is telling you that the driver you are using is radeon. Specifically it is the
xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver.
