I also upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and had all the above problems. I followed Jeremy Jackins' instructions, restarted X, enabled Compiz features and now everything works as well as it did before the upgrade.
Just one note: while searching in the package manager for "radeon" packages to remove, removing radeontool would also have removed acpi- support, powermanagement-interface and ubuntu-desktop. Cancelling that one seemed like a good idea. :o) Thanks to Jeremy and all those who posted. -- fglrx works, but window moving/resizing and scrolling are very, very slow; desktop effects don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
