I installed Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX240, it has an ATI Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF (from lspci output) and all the graphics run very slow (I'm assuming because OpenGL and hardware acceleration are disabled). I Googled the issue and found several solutions but non of them worked.

I tried installing the ATI Catalyst driver but it doesn't recognize the graphics card.

I also tried to install the fglrx drivers but when I run fglrxinfo I get a segmentation fault.

So the X server is running with the open source (r128) drivers and it's really slow, does anyone know of a solution for this?

I'll bump this as well, I just picked up one of these on the roadside with a pwnt XP install, got a gig of ram though.
