After much Googling, I got this working for the most part (except for the window decorations on liferea for some reason) by turning on KMS for Radeon in the kernel. A url which describes how to do this is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1261990 . In a nutshell:
create a new /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf that contains: ##enable KMS Radeon options radeon modeset=1 Then execute the following command: sudo update-initramfs -k `uname -r` -u May not work with all Radeon cards is their caveat, but at least worked for Radeon AGP 7500. Other video issues I had were getting mplayer working (added vo=gl2,x11 to ~/.mplayer/config). Video effects are at the same speed (if not faster) than they were under Jaunty. >From what I've read, this isn't a bug, Radeon KMS is still a work in progress from what I was able to read. -- Background and full screen apps don't show up when Normal Visual Effects on (Radeon 7500) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444139 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
