problems after installing the new ATI driver

[Zakk Walid]

I installed the new ATI Driver.
The effects work gr8 even better than before!
But when i play a 3D game, or google earth ect'.. i have a black screen kinda flashing during the game or whatever....
And when i opend a video, my desktoped effects got disabled :|

then...
I disabled the desktop effects and everything workd gr8! games, apps, videos..

How can i solve this problem ?
this driver shpuld work with my card perfectly as i saw on a website.
as far as i know the problem is with compiz...(?)

thank you =]

for video play back use:

mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/video

[jimerickso]

if you are using vlc set the video driver to xshm.

Are you using AIGLX or GLX?

i disabled my glx then i deleted it.
i just installed the new ATI driver ==> now i have just AIGLX.

should i instal glx again :O ? will it solve the problem?

If you're not working right, try this HOWTO after the installation bit. There are a few mods that need to be made to xorg.conf, if they aren't already there.

Which ATI card do you have? How old is it?

What method did you use to install it?

I would suggest just using the following to install:


sudo bash ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run


Use the ATI installer to set up. It worked better for me than any other HOWTO...

Then follow the other instructions on the link to be sure your xorg.conf is set correctly.
