    Re: Graphics drivers performance issue.

    Thank you for replying again, and yes I know I did one of the nonos *gasp* I bumped my thread, but yes, I am using the default xorg drivers, and yes I understand it might make my system unstable...I've run elementary OS also But all kidding asside, yes I understand the risk, this is not a production machine so I want to go along with this. I tried Sudo apt-get install xorg-edgers and I think it reported it could not find the package. Even after I did Sudo apt-get update after adding the ppa.

    The command you need to add a ppa is:

    Code:
    apt-add-repository <ppa_name>
    so in this case it would be:

    Code:
    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
    then run:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Ok, so I did that so what now? How can I check to see if it properly installed the package?

    The closed source driver will only update from the ppa, if you already have it installed. If you don't have it installed, you'll have to to that.

    Ok, I installed them and used doom3 to test them, it crashed my system and screwed up my ubuntu install, because after shutting down my computer after doom3 screwed up my screen res I restarted and let it boot, but then it failed and crashed into busybox. I think it's something to do with kernel 3.8.12 because I booted into GRUB and selected the advanced UBUNTU options and booted into kernel 3.8.11 it was able to successfully boot and I am going to try to remove Xorg-cracked from my system and see if it can boot properly on kernel 3.8.12
