Well, here is an interesting update. I have desktop effects (3D) running good so far. I am still trying to figure out what is causing the crash though.
Here is what I did to fix it: Run synaptic package manager. Search for (without quotes) " xserver " Now, scroll down the list until you find " xserver-xorg-video-all " Mark this for removal. Now, scroll down to " xserver-xorg-video-ati " Mark this for removal. Click on Apply. Restart. Now, it will probably give some errors but just ignore it, it will go to a default driver and be very choppy. Okay, now that you have logged into the huge display. Run Synaptic package manager AGAIN. Search for (without quotes) " xserver " Now scroll down to " xserver-xorg-video-ati " Mark this for re-installation. Click on Apply. Restart. Now, you will have your desktop back to normal. Now try 3D effects. Please message back on other errors so I can figure the problem out further. Or hopefully it will work for you. It might be an ati driver being overwritten. -- [gutsy] Regression - "Desktop effects could not be enabled" on ATI Mobility Radeon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
