Title: fglrx works, but window moving/resizing and scrolling are very, very slow; desktop effects don't work Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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.
