Uninstalled the ATI driver with envy. Tried to use Method 2, but It stops mid-install with this error:
Generating package: Ubuntu/hardy
Resolving build dependencies...
./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: 347: sh -c '/usr/sbin/synaptic --set-selections --non-interactive --hide-main-window < /tmp/fileTcJZYW': not found
Unable to resolve build-essential fakeroot. Please manually install and try again.
What now?

Hmm...this does not look promising. Anyone have any other ideas?

You could try using the open source driver. Radeon 9800 is fully supported and should work great with compiz.

How do I go about enabling that? Also, does it support 3D (as that is my main issue--2D works fine)Originally Posted by zgornel

Section Device of xorg.conf should look like this:
Also, make sure you have xserver-xorg-video-ati installed. You can check the man page for xorg.conf options for the driver:Code:Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "radeon" EndSection
. It should support 3D quite well. Your problem is not only 3D, if DRI is not initialized you do not have 2D acceleration as well which means videos will be choppy and high content video will be unplayable.Code:man radeon

Do I need to use the envy installer or another form of installation, or do I just put in the code? Note: At this point, I have no driver installed that I know of. I used envy to uninstall the ATI driver.

Re-installed my ATI drivers with envy and edited the conf as you requested. Seems to make no difference.

sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential
Note: you may need some more
Note: opensource is about 30% of 3D rendering capability of the fglrx

Uninstall the official drivers and modify xorg.conf. The driver should be provided with the default install of Ubuntu.

Well, he should first think about which driver he finally wants, and not undoing the steps for fglrx when he has done 50%...
