Okay so to clarify how I got my fix to work and some info on my system : Ubuntu 8.04 Final DVD 20" iMac 2ghz Core Duo (32bit) 2gb RAM 256mb ATI x1600 Radeon
After a fresh install of Ubuntu from the 8.04 DVD, I enabled the 3rd Party repositories to my repository list. Ran apt-get update (Reload Lists). Opened Synaptic and searched for linux-restricted. Then I installed : linux-restricted-modules (Version : 2.6.24.16.18) and nothing else. This was not installed by default. After doing this, I opened the Hardware Drivers under System -> Administration Enabled the ATI Driver Restart and all set. It MAY fail on the first login (possibility) just login again and it should go the second time. Like many of you, Compiz worked perfectly for me under 7.10. Enabling the restricted drivers also fixed my wireless issue (bcm43xx). Before this, my wireless was broken in 8.04 when it wasn't in 7.10. SO why am I posting this again? Well I wanted to clarify that I am doing a clean install and am booting natively under GRUB with no Wubi or anything. I don't know how much this counts, however you know how things can be. -- [fglrx] Ati x1600Pro White screen on activating compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196900 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
