Talk:Ubuntu Gutsy Installation Guide

dkms?
I don't see any instructions for this newfangled dkms thing... Is it it done automatically? &mdash; SheeEttin {T/C} 09:13, 24 December 2007 (CST)

ANSWER: just install it before installing fglrx packages... they will invoke it. Nothing to do.

APT/Aptitude
This guide use apt-get. Sometimes the apt-get and aptitude are interchangeable, but not always. Please don't edit this guide without knowing how use aptitude. For instance the commend "aptitude install -f" is not secure, can provoke damages (especially for "unstable" distributions). In my opinion apt-get is better for this guide. --Subvertigo 15:26, 13 January 2008 (CST)

Mipmapping in Compiz
When mipmapping is enabled in compiz modules then they the contents don't show up. Disabling mipmapping fixes these problems. Ubunty 7.10 and ATI 8.1.
