Hi,
I'm new to Ubuntu(I come from Windows 7) and I installed Ubuntu 11.10 a few days ago. In the past, I already had problems with my video card, so I thought that maybe the problem has been solved now.
When I use the open-source drivers for my ATI card, it all runs very smooth, but my laptop (Acer Aspire 8920G) 's fan is spinning fast and the laptop becomes hot. So I installed the official ATI drivers from the "Additional Divers" menu. I rebooted and now the laptop is very quiet but when dragging windows, scrolling and typing, it all lags
If anyone know a fix for this please let me know.
(I'm totally new to Linux and Ubuntu so no very difficult methods please)
