xserver no backfill for Lucid?

[KrGAce]

Hello All,

Have to say I am loving the new Ubuntu (Lucid), however I have the same problem I do every time I upgrade and that is the maximize/minimize delay in Firefox or any open window for that matter. In the past I have installed a deb file called xserver-nobackfill and it fixes the problem, but I cannot find one for Lucid. I try an older version and it tells me a newer version is already installed. I know Lucid just came out yesterday, but I wondered if someone knew where to look, or something to try.

Many thanks in advance,

AceMan

I am having the same problem, and the previous fixes worked for me as well.

Dell Studio 1537 ATI Mobility Radeon 3450

I found a thread that had a fix for the minimize/maximize problem.

You just need to enable Direct2D

sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,Direct2DAccel,TRUE

Thanks to all for the responses. The new ppa for the no backfill worked for me after a reboot.


Thanks again,

When I try

sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,Direct2DAccel,TRUE

on Lucid, I get the following error message:

No layout section was found in the file: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
Please run 'aticonfig --initial' first or modify your configurationfile manually and run aticonfig again.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

Running sudo aticonfig --initall gives me this:

Found fglrx primary device section
 Unable to find any supported Screen sections

What can I do?

Back up your old xorg.conf and create a new one.

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo aticonfig --initial -f

Log out and back in to restart with new xorg.conf
