Hi, I have the same problem as Marco Ferragina, but using a desktop computer (not a laptop) with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT Mobility card. Now using Hardy beta, after clean install it uses free radeon driver and Compiz by default, all work ok. But Hardy tries to install fglrx propietary driver when I

This is due to "ati" driver that has been blacklisted for freezes with compiz in some ati cards. There is a Bug to enable a whitelist for well working card with "ati" driver and compiz. See Bug #201330. -- [hardy] visual effects require proprietary drivers don't needed in gutsy https://bugs.lau

I've spent the last hour trying to find a bugreport I found earlier, I even commented on (but it won't show in 'bugs you commented on'. The jist of it was, If you install fglrx driver (probably if you don't do that via the restricted driver manager which would uninstall the OSS ones) you get both

Hi again, In my laptop, and I have checked a few times, activating any kind of dekstop effect will work without asking anything about proprietary drivers. And be sure I have fglrx absolutely purged. However, it's true that my gnome session doesn't start jockey (the new restricted-manager). In that

well done Paul, you caught the point. Open source drivers should be preferred by default during visual effects abilitation. Miguel, here we are talking about visual effects and not about TV-Out. Maybe I will never use TV-out but always use compiz, so why I should prefer the proprietary drivers? Any

I can also confirm this. ATi 9800. I prefer to use the open drivers since video playback is better with them in comparison to the fglrx, and compiz worked very well with them in the past. 1. ensure compiz is disabled in Appearance. 2. Uninstall fglrx using the restricted drivers manager. 3. resta

OK, I'll detail the procedure I followed yesterday evening: 1) Make sure compiz is deactivated and that metacity is working as it should 2) aptitude purge fglrx-whatever and amdcccle 3) Set up /etc/X11/xorg.conf for xserver-xorg-ati and my Mobility Radeon M10 4) Reboot (just in case...) 5) Log in

The problem it that driver manager suggest the proprietary driver (fglrx) when the open one work well with compiz. Why I should use proprietary driver if the open source one work well? -- [hardy] visual effects require proprietary drivers don't needed in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2000

I don't understand what the problem is.. Is it that the driver manager is suggesting fglrx, or is something not working? Reading the original bugreport suggests that -ati is working just fine? -- [hardy] visual effects require proprietary drivers don't needed in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/b
