Hello everyone,
I have a 32bit PC with 12.04 Ubuntu. It has a Radeon ATI graphics (Cedar Pro, Radeon HP 5450) card and I installed catalyst to get better performance.
After an update yesterday, my desktop has been really slow. The Alt-tab application switcher that used to be very nice was reduced to a windows-xp like switcher with very small tabs. Also the start button runs very slow.
I tried:
unity -- reset
but got many Fatal errors with compiz in general.
This command didn't work either: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
I got the compiz manager, but any changes I made are not applied, even after restart...
I am a little hesitant to reinstall the whole compiz and/or in case the desktop fails completely? Is it safe to do that considering I have the radeon 3rd party graphics drivers?
Any advice is highly appreciated!
Thanks!
Pedro
