I've spent the last hour trying to find a bugreport I found earlier, I even commented on (but it won't show in 'bugs you commented on'.
The jist of it was, If you install fglrx driver (probably if you don't do that via the restricted driver manager which would uninstall the OSS ones) you get both fglrx and mesa-dri drivers installed. The fglrx and r300 drivers however for example, use different libgl.so (ATi drivers don't seem to like the mesa libgl.so) and thusly the r300 driver refuses to load. So having the restricted driver manage pull in fglrx isn't that fine, especially if you wish to use visual effects, which work just fine on the r300 nowadays. BTW, I noticed the same thing, and using the pythoned jockey-gtk interface for managing restricted drivers. Jockey doesnt' get opened/called however when you change the visual effects (ergo enable compiz) -- [hardy] visual effects require proprietary drivers don't needed in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200086 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
