Talk:Ubuntu Jaunty Installation Guide
After installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop I noticed that some images, textareas and textures were displayed in a stripery way. And always ther were a few bleu dots around my mousepointer.
Installing the newest fgrlx ATI drive was not an option because after the install X-org hangs.
My hardware:
HP Compaq nw8240 Ati Mobility Radeon X700 1900 x 1200
Ubuntu 9.04
After a long search I found the folowing solution:
Just change the mentioned sections in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the folowing:
- start xorg.conf
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" EndSection
Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Virtual 1920 1200 EndSubSection EndSection
Section "Module" Load "dri" Load "GLcore" Load "glx" EndSection
Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "EnablePageFlip" "1" Option "ColorTiling" "1" Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" Option "DynamicClocks" "true" Driver "radeon" EndSection
- end xorg.conf
After this change finaly my Ubuntu 9.04 performed as wished including compiz and apps like google earth
