This must be the ultimate fglrx.py: 1) "Defaultdepth24" is added to the Screen-Section of xorg.conf AND 2) the unnecessary and unwanted "Composite 0" option is not put into xorg.conf in order to enable Compiz To compile the .py to .pyc, I did this (note the working directory, and note the *

Good news: I've added the line "self.xorg_conf.getSections('Screen')[0].defaultdepth = 24" to /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py (included), compiled the .py to .pyc, and now 'sudo jockey-gtk' adds the needed line "Defaultdepth 24". So: it works! I think I will also remove the annoying "Composit

Composite 0 is a hold over from the old fglrx versions that didn't support AIGLX. I think jockey wasn't named jockey in Gutsy. It was the Restricted Drivers Manager. -- ATI Driver not working on Compaq V2321US (Xpress200) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194963 You received this bug notification

Aha: jockey-gtk launches the prop.driver activation. I didn't know that. Thanks. The relevant jockey file is probably /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py . That file contains the relevant key words 'fglrx' and 'glx'. And it does *not* contain a Screen-Default-Depth-24 line: exactly the behaviour w

I had a futher look at dexconf: Ubuntu 7.10's dexconf does write a DefaultDepth line, with value $DISPLAY_DEFAULT_DEPTH In Ubuntu 8.04's dexconf, that line is gone. Well, there *is* a line "DefaultDepth24", but it's only written if $QEMU_KVM is true, so within QEMU VM's. Not for fglrx. So,

Good news: I found the solution: Just add "Defaultdepth24" to the the part "Section "Screen"" of the xorg.conf generated by Ubuntu for the ATI / fglrx config, and everything works! So, in xorg.conf generated for fglrx, change Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen"
