Now I've found the statement in the compiz wrapper script too: `if laptop-detect; then return 1`.
* meaningful message needed instead of "turning on effects failed" * the open source radeon driver **works** on my notebook (3d, standby, xrandr, big desktop), the proprietary fglrx is unstable and important features do **not** work(no standby - I mean no wake up, no xrandr, strange (proprietary) way controlling the external output * everything worked by default in Hardy Alpha6, does not work after upgrade to the Beta * whitelisting of my card working card would be nice lspci: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Mobility Radeon X300]; on Thinkpad T43 * the real problem is trying to turn the effects in the Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects installs the proprietary fglrx driver without confirmation! And this (fglrx) crashes frequently. What is the 'proper' way turning the 3d effects with the radeon driver then? * put SKIP_CHECKS=yes in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager * hacking the wrapper script? What is minimal editing needed for xorg.conf? -- Need to whitelist multiple ATI cards, or remove blacklisting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201330 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
