[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 371296] Re: [R420] system freezes when starting openoffice writer
Thanks for the info! Now i was trying to get TV-out working with my ATI X800 videocard, this was another bad idea. It also has a TV tuner which i might try to get to work in an optimistic mood. So i decided to get me an old Gforce 6200 (NVIDIA) for a few bucks. That fixes most problems. -- [R420] system freezes when starting openoffice writer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xserver-xorg-driver-ati. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 371296] Re: [R420] system freezes when starting openoffice writer
Thank you for the tips, these did not work for me unfortunately. However, for now it seems to work when i add the following in xorg.conf : Section "Device" Option "AGPMode" "4" ... I followed tips mentioned on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks You can try values like 8 4 and 2, I have this problem when i use 8. Lower values should result in lower performance but using glxgears i dont see much difference. Let us know if this works for you. -- [R420] system freezes when starting openoffice writer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 371296] Re: system freezes when starting openoffice writer
Hi thanks for the try. I tried compiz off previously - no difference, xorg.conf is already there (2009-05-05), device section looks now like: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "ati" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "NoAccel" "true" EndSection oowriter works with this setting. We know a bit more now.
