Re: [ubuntu-uk] ubuntu 8.10

Hi Rob, I contacted VIA, who told me they have written an upgrade to their via cards that allows compiz to function. Unfortunately, I did try to install it, but as I'm only a beginner I couldnt get it to work but they assured me that it does work. I dont know of any body else who has been found this information and installed the new drivers for me to know if it does work. Do you know anything about this?

I found that using the 'Safe' Video Mode (vesa driver) worked okay albeit slow. I found this on the Ubuntu forums, not sure if it'll help at all. It seems to suggest that Compiz is causing some issues? http://wiki.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967178 I haven't personally tried it as I've been too tied up and I don't have any VIA chipset machines at home.
