im having trouble with my video card, ive installed the driver for mt powercolor ATI HD2600 on my feodra core 6 everything seems to be fine but when i used the web browser the page moves in slowmotion when i scroll down and when im browsing my folders and scroll up or down. what is the problem here?

Tell us which driver?

might need a 2d accleration option...

the fglrx that iv downloaded from www.amd.com

sorry about the two day delay, i was busy over the weekend. (visiting colleges and such)

have you tried the 2D option yet?

ehhhh also post your xorg.conf
just so we can check it.

googling scrolling fglrx will get you lots of complaints pertaining to your problem.

seems the new fglrx version (which i am happy that it supports the new cards) is still kind of buggy.

here's my xorg.conf

i'm stumped..,never owned an ATI on linux before (execpt a Rage Pro, lol). try and turn off smooth scrolling in firefox.

are you using compiz?

whats compiz? im sorry im very new to linux..hehe

do u have fancy effects?

(fading windows, animated windows, etc)

hi there,

linux and graphics cards can be fun. i use ati mostly but when it came to my linux box i chose nvidia. i chose nvidia because i heard they had better support than ati - which has since changed. i to at first had some issues as well. after figuring out and reading that the drivers both nvidia and ati provide aren't the best and that i should go the route of third party drivers instead. i couldn't find the exact link i used however this link is close: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-t...-6-38740.shtml . the drivers provided by the manufactures do not take into account certain things, if i recall some of the requirements for the kernel.... anyway try getting your drivers from the rpm.livna.org site and i bet you get better results. you can get to the livna site by going here http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/.

let me know if this works for you!

cheers... brendan

nope im not using any effects
