Public bug reported:
ATI HD 2600 Pro AGP card doesn't seem to work properly in Kubuntu 8.04
nor in Kubuntu 9.04. I have tried radeon/ati, radeonhd (version from the
official repos) and the propriety ATI driver (many many versions of it).
Many of these tries result in X being corrupted or not starting at all.
Usually the fgrlx being the worst. Best results displayed unbearably
slow system, where scrolling down a web page is a one day's work.
Kubuntu 8.04 displayed a little better performance, but far from being
usable still.
In Windows, it is very difficult to find the correct driver as well
since ATI doesn't seem to give much support to the AGP versions of these
cards. But it works when the correct driver is found.
The Internet tells some success stories on this, but nothing that I have
managed to replicate. So I thought it is wise to start this bug thread
here to acknowledge this problem and hopefully find some solution.
The motherboard chipset is NVIDIA 3.
