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 and select desktop-effects
In none of these steps did any popup tell me to ditch the working FLOSS driver and to switch to the nightmarish world of fglrx. I might have skipped something though. BTW: Marco, believe it or not, there are some times fglrx is a necessary evil. For example, when you want the most performance out of your card. Or when you need OpenGL2. Well, for the later one, instead of fglrx you can wait till Gallium3D and OGL2 support in the ati driver ;-). TV-out was also another fglrx-only feature until very recently. -- [hardy] visual effects require proprietary drivers don't needed in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
