Hi All,
I've had jumpy video and the following error message in the frontend log
VideoOutputXv Error: Could not find suitable XVideo surface.
VideoOutputXv: Falling back to X shared memory video output.
My working version 8 setup is running fglrx (from the Restricted Drivers gui option).
I ran synaptic and installed fglrx and loaded the old xorg.conf pasted below (I don't think there was one there before, but I didn't check !)
Unfortunately It didn't work - any ideas - is FGLRX still the best driver to use ?
