Ooops... Jumped the gun there. Though fglrxinfo was reporting that the appropriate driver was in use, I found the graphics to be a bit too slow. So I checked glxgears and found that I was getting frame rates of ~300.
I reinstalled the ATI driver (8.01) only to find that the blank screen on login as before. .xsession-errors ends with the line 'Waiting 10 seconds for Xgl to start'. Nothing more. FWIW: Was also getting a gnome-settings-daemon error at startup (bug 199960). Have now reverted to no Xgl and metacity. Performance is back to normal (1700 fps in glxgears). -- [Hardy] Race condition in Xgl startup process https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176515 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
