Well you have to realize this board is geared more towards ATI users. However that being said this is great coverage, and pretty non biased for a fan site. I'm using these new drivers on my Nvidia...

What we want is functionality, but what does functionality mean? Functionality means a driver that you can install, being able to do common everyday activities on your computer. The common activities...

Not affecting my nvidia card. I made this guide a while ago. Alot of people have had success. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=654681

My 8800 GTS runs just fine but I have to use the 177.13 beta driver for stability and fast 2D performance. The 173.xx.xx driver just causes crashing and instability for me. I've had this card for...

Recently tried this driver and a few other 173 ones. Lots of graphics freezing. I recompile driver after each update, this helped with a few less crashes. I got feed up so I installed some 177...

Thanks for the help too RealNC, and no I don't want to try and install ATI drives at this moment in time :D However that being said I will have to soon for a guide I am writing, so I'll be taking the...

Thanks Melcar! I was hoping I could run them in window mode. :)

I wasn't clear on Question one, let me rephrase that. Does compiz and gaming work at the same time? Meaning I have compiz turned on and I can run games with no flickering?

Right now my main computer uses a nvidia card, but I have several computers that use an ati card. I want to install linux on them but I am not sure how the Ati drivers are at this moment in time.

Amd is very versatile, I have no doubt that they will surpass Nvidia drivers. How soon that will be, only time will tell. Just expect better things from AMD Guys. :cool:

You can enable the glow effect by disabling pixel shaders, However even when doing this the game glow effects only work partially, and that's not always guaranteed. Other then that there is no way to...

This is old info from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_7.12_Driver_Manually

I thought I would bump this with the working guide I made for 7.12 driver install of ATI.

Everytime I have used their installer, on ubuntu I get bad driver installs. I just bash and install it myself. :) then no issues except the ones not fixed by ATI.

I'm using a 1900xtx :)

As for the video playback X11 doesn't work to well. If you go into full screen it lags. Also while this is a sub par work around, it doesn't help the issue with video games(or other video output...

I went back to windows vista. Going to be buying a nvidia laptop next month. Will just keep my ati system for gaming in windows. I think nvidia is the way to go for linux, unfortantly.

I'm having a heating issue on the 1900xtx. I'm using the latest Linux ATI driver. The fan doesn't increase in speed and the card over heats. Works fine in windows. Sitting in linux overheats my card,...

I'm having the same issues. I've been trying to run the aticonfig commands but none of the options seem to be working. If anyone has a fix for these issues especially the flickering a post would be...
