I have now tried it with dual boot. Once windows is installed, do the following.
*create a gparted live-cd.(see http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php)

I was able to get it to work. When you get the error in ext4 creation. simply boot out. Create a recent gparted live cd. boot using the gparted live cd. Load the raid volume. You will find that the...

You could have compiled/installed the driver from ati's website. So try uninstalling it. If I remember there must be an uninstaller somewhere in the /usr/libs/. I have a hd 3200. so I could be wrong....

Did you by any chance edit your /etc/sudoers ?

Yup my suspicion was right! after installing guidance-power-manager... everything works fine. Though initially it appeared that I got the same problems as Rangua. The wireless took some time to...

Well, tried the grub option. my laptop doesnot sleep on closing the lid. I had made a fresh install of jaunty by the way. I remember that in in intrepid I had guidance power-manager installed. I...

I am noober than you!
I have read in a SUSE forum the pm-utils is the next generation thingie. So this doesn't seem specific to ubuntu. The question should probably put in a proper hard-core linux...

everyone is a noob to begin with. I apologize. It was my fault to say that "its not news".

We were concerned about flickering with compiz i.e. visual effects enabled. Infact i have seen that if i disable rand rotation the flickering disappears even if I have visual effects turned on.

If...

Apart from the boot commands... did you allow change of the blacklist file as well? Also you should still have the 2.6.26* kernel visible... why not log in using that with acpi=off and then try to...

Hi I had this problem when I upgraded from hardy to intrepid... I would want you to check the following:

When you start your laptop what kernel version do you see in your boot options? If you do...

if its an ati card on fglrx,
then alt-f2 and then metacity --replace& will get the screen back and then you can go back to the system->preferences->screen resolution and set it back to normal.

Same here too!

Try this:

After that I had significant improvement. Also it is clearly written that the driver is still not good enough for compiz.

Hey baronvonjimmy
I found something...
When I have compiz on and when the screen is in normal mode. fgl_glxgears reports around 33fps (my lcd sactually has a refresh rate of 60fps). You see that...

@laurentp
Well I asked that because I have this problem (keyboard freezing) when running compiz... So I have set my power and screen saver settings not to stop display or start screensaver when...

Are you running compiz? If so what are your power settings?

You got orientation correction on reloading compiz?
Doesn't work that way for me!

fglrx does not work via xorg.conf anymore... see the following

http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/28676

you should use aticonfig command for adding new display sizes etc.. you may want to use...

BaronVonJimmy
If you still want to run fglrx and donot mind using metacity when you have your screen rotated the following will work

xrandr -o left
metacity --replace&
xsetwacom set...

*EDIT*

My bad!

It does not work under compiz without radeon! I did not realize i was working with Metacity. The mice doesn't even respond for me!

BaronVonJimmy

I checked even without radeon. It works ok for me. There must be someway to debug your case (I am no expert!).

I am attaching my xorg.conf for you to compare to start with.

BaronVonJimmy,
I remember i had similar problem but not with the mice. I will have to check it after I uninstall readeon (soon).

The screen refresh problem was there but it was random. So I...

It works. the DVD button starts totem. xev recognizes the refresh button!

You are great!

i could reproduce your results... But the buttons seem respond only in the console(ctr+alt+f1-6) and not when my desktop(gdm on ctr-alt-f7) is on. I have mapped the keys to some other applications...
