I spent a couple hours this morning thrashing this and was not able to setup a working flgrx restricted compiz environment on my gutsy (current as of last night) system.
What I did to test: dropped fglrx from the restricted list in /etc/default/linux-res* rebooted (to insure picking up linux-restr* version of fglrx and confirmed that version in /var/log/X*log moved the two *glx* files back into /etc/X11/Xsession.d modified my xorg.conf as per what I ran across on the web: Section "Device" Identifier "X1600" Driver "fglrx" Option "VideoOverlay" "off" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "on" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "enable" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "AIGLX" "off" EndSection and restarted /etc/X11/gdm result was glxgears ran, through jerky, and fglrx_glxgears did not run at all due to missing DRI on DISPLAY :1.0 Firefox was ungodly slow w/ text input and some of the gnome applets were consuming lots of CPU I reverted ... I'm now running ati's fglrx binary in a gnome non-compiz env by moving the two glx files out of the way in /etc/X11/Xsession.d and blocking the gutsy fglrx module in /etc/default/linux-res* and restarting gdm. With those changes firefox is fast, movies work (mplayer -fs -vo gl2 *.mp*), and I don't have compix I may have an odd env. having upgraded from feisty w/ my custom xorg.conf but I don't know what I could be doing wrong. My plan is to wait for the upcoming ati binary flgrx that supports compiz directly. -- Typing in text form in Firefox becomes very slow in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132053 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
