You have been subscribed to a public bug: 3D acceleration even of things like xscreensaver is terribly slow. Attempting to run World of Warfact through WINE in OpenGL mode yields < 5fps frame rates. This is obviously not a highly capable card, but it does have enough capabilities to run World of Warcraft and at the very least run a 3D accelerated xscreensaver.
I'm not a huge fan of ATI cards for this very reason, but I figured I may as well test it for the sake of this distro. I'm assuming this is an issue with the free driver as the X1550 is no longer supported by ATI/AMD. If there is anything I can do to troubleshoot, please let me know! ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- 3D Acceleration Performance for ATI X1550 horrid... https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/425310 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
