Title:
fglrx works, but window moving/resizing and scrolling are very, very
slow; desktop effects don't work
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
I upgraded to intrepid as soon as I saw that the issue with fglrx and
the new xorg was resolved. The driver works, but with some pretty big
problems. The biggest problem is that scrolling and moving/resizing
windows is very, very slow and choppy. Also trying to enable desktop
effects fails with this output in the terminal:
jeremy@jeremy-laptop:~$ gnome-appearance-properties
[here I try to enable desktop effects through the appearance menu]
There is no available graphics driver for your system which supports the
composite extension, or the current one already supports it.
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
Running fglrxinfo in the terminal gives me this:
jeremy@jeremy-laptop:~$ fglrxinfo
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 160 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 10
Current serial number in output stream: 10
In the jockey/Hardware Drivers menu, there is a green light beside the
fglrx driver, and it says "This driver is activated but not currently
in use."
I have tried with a stock "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
xorg.conf, then again after running aticonfig --initial, and also with
the xorg.conf created by jockey, and experimented with different xorg
options myself, all to no avail.
