ATI x1300 fglrx driver Ubuntu
has anyone had any real success with the fglrx driver on Ubuntu? I'm using it, Compiz is working but anything that uses gl just crashes X.
My card is a PowerColor ATI x1300 512Mb and the relevant sections of my (current) xorg.conf looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "fglrx"
Busid "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "CMC 19AW"
Defaultdepth 24
SubSection "Display"
****
Ommitting display depths here...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]"
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]"
Defaultdepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "1"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Sure thing-
currently on my machine and crashing x are:
Briquolo
Crack Attack
Tremulous
Google Earth
other applications that run, but really poorly include xmame, dvd playback etc.
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1300 / X1550 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release
have you tried disabled compiz to see if that causes the problems?
And about dvd playback being slow. Have you installed all the codecs nessesary for it to work?
Here is a great page explaining that part

I take it you're using XGL? OpenGL apps. will cause problems if both are used at the same time, the same goes for any full screen rendering (unless the cards is beefy enough).
Yes I've got the Codecs; I've been using MPlayer, then Totem and more recently VLC for some time now (probably about 4 years), so when I set up a machine one of the first things I configure is the codec support. Thanks though.
I believe I am using XGL, yes.
Is it basically down to a choice between having compiz or having 3D applications? If so it really isn't a great choice. As for beefy, well the x1300 isn't top of the line, no, but it should be sufficient for most tasks.. http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/ind...ask=view&id=26
Could be the same problem as me

type
andCode:fglrxinfo -display :0
If you get overly different outcomes, then it's the same problem as I.Code:fglrxinfo -display :1
There are always the newer drivers (current ones are 7.11), which let you use AIGLX for Compiz instead of XGL.
Thank for the help me.
Thank to you for the help me!
