upgrade to Intrepid Ibex beta Question

[loyaleagle]

When I start the upgrade to the new Intrepid Ibex beta, it tells me that I might have slower desktop effects and that the fglrx driver is not found for the upgrade.

Can I go ahead and once the upgrade is complete, the proprietary driver will be found or should I wait to upgrade until october 30th.

Thanks for all the help in this forum....

It is running swimmingly for me, but I would say wait a little while longer. Let them get some more bugs worked out first.

You do it's still in Beta????????

It was quite a mess yesterday. I haven't checked today.

The bottom line is you shouldn't be fooling with a dev distro if you want stability!

Meh, no printer for me, however until yesterday, NFS, and Rhythbox weren't working, after a fresh install, all is good with them.

If you want fglrx, you will have to wait until ATI release new drivers which support the new XOrg. I have been using the free ati drivers and love it. Don't see much different in performance and GL video playing works.

which free drivers? ENVY?

which free drivers? ENVY?

Envy isn't a driver. It simply has the ability to install the proprietary nvidia driver and fglrx.

The free driver is xserver-xorg-video-ati, and is installed by default. It even has 3D acceleration on some older cards.
