Hi all, I am running Feisty Kubuntu on a Toshiba A135-S2386 notebook. I am trying to setup Beryl on it. facing some problems... My graphics card is a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M on a T2080 ( 1.73GHz) Dual core. Is the machine good enough?
Following the documentation, I installed ATI's fglrx driver. Accordingly, I think I should use Xgl and not AIGLX. For this I added the line: Option "AIGLX" "false" in the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. Without this, launching beryl would simply stop saying that conpositing is disabled.
I installed ATI's driver (restricted modules). glxinfo gives "Direct rendering : Yes"
fglrxinfo output is: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)
My xorg.conf is uploaded at : http://pastebin.com/944969
lsmod |grep gl gives: fglrx 540004 11 agpgart 35400 2 fglrx,ati_agp
X -version output:
X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux ZION 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 Build Date: 04 April 2007
Also following documentation, I restarted X using Xgl using a script recommended on many websites. This script is uploaded at:http://pastebin.com/944990 and http://pastebin.com/944993
Should I try using AIGLX+mesa instead ?
