Is my graphics card working correctly?
I've setup Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop. It's generally working very well, however I'm not sure if the graphics card (S3 Twister K, 32MB of shared video memory) was configured correctly. This is because menus and the fade out/in effect of the admin password box flickers quite a lot. Also, Google Earth displays a message about running in software mode, however in Windows it can run Google Earth in hardware mode.
Are these issues here because the card is old and not very powerful, or because Ubuntu isn't set up correctly? Also, is the card capable of the 3D window effects XGL/Compiz or is this for ATI/Nvidia cards only? Thanks to anyone who can help. |
