Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem
I have Ubuntu 7.10 with the Studio theme installed.
My video card is an ATI Radeon X1550 with 256 Mb.
At first I made an attempt of manually installing my video card in Ubuntu but
after several re-installations I had to resort to the Envy way of installing my
video card as I was not able to get through all the setup steps in the
terminal. A lot of times when I entered the commands which were explained in
various forums I received error messages so I decided to give Envy a try
instead.
The result of this is that compiz fusion is working and all effects work well.
Also I have the ATI control panel installed on my system which gives the
correct output. Also the restricted drivers are installed.
However, I have one problem and that is that video is not working well in any
application. Even the screen saver flickers.
My question is: Has this to do with a missing codec or does my card need
additional configuration in Ubuntu?
I have read previous comments on Envy and all are about de-installing this and
manually configuring the video card.
If this has to be done then could you please provide me with a clear
step-by-step guide how to do this, keeping in mind that I am new to Linux in
general but very willing and open to learn more about this potentially
fantastic Operating System?
At the moment I am still dual booting with Windows XP but find that I am less
and less inclined to use this.
Thank you for your support in advance.
