Scroll problem with ati drivers

[kozmix]

Hi all, i've a new laptop with an ati hd3650 and i've installed the latest ubuntu yesterday.

I guess it didn't detected my graphic, the resolution was awful, so i went to ati's website and downloaded the linux drivers. Installed everything according to the instructions and the resolution was awsome. Problem is, when scrolling in firefox, resizing, etc it's extremely slow.

I've been searching the web, changed drivers, uninstall compiz, which by the way never worked, always white screen, and it's still ultra slow.

I was thinking of installed another distro, but after some search i guess it's a general problem.

Please, could someone help?

Thx in advance!

I would stay away form the ATI website, use the ones you can download in Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

does the scrolling problem happen only in firefox?

what driver did you install from the ati website?

I have had problems with Hardy and ATI too, but nothing major

use envy to install drivers i had this issue but was fixed using envy and then doing follwoing in terminal:

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx-envy

restricted drivers were blurry and had glitches like that and used my procesor alot. Ati drivers worked perfectly and so much smoother with envy.
