My computer crashed during the upgrade to Karmic Koala, so i decided to leave the whole matter and make a fresh install of Jaunty. I added the following PPA http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu to get hold of the latest 1:6.12.2 xserver-xorg-video-ati driver. The good thing is now: all my described problems in this bug report disappeared mysteriously!! I can use 3D on compiz, AND smoothly watch flash video's I could not watch beforehand. I love it.
This bug report can be marked 'Solved', at far as I'm concerned. Thank you for your time Bryce. -- ati driver XAA performance and serious 3D issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409896 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
