Hey it took me a LONG time to find a solution that actually worked but today I finally found it but there was a small problem so I fixed the issue and I'm posting a new solution/tutorial.
I want to give paintedrealms and Giantoz 100% of the credit for doing the actual work.
Step 1 - Enter below commands into Terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git-core
sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev x11proto-render-dev xserver-xorg-dev
cd xf86-video-ati
sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-dri
sudo make
sudo make install
Step 2 - Enter the following commands into Terminal
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Step 3 -
Edit the .conf file and make it look like this:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "radeon"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Then restart your PC and you should be set.
Once again I take no credit all I did was change "radeonhd" to "radeon" in the xorg.conf file.
Hope this helps someone...
