Hello,
I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 graphics card and i'm trying to install the Catalyst 9.9 (fglrx) driver on a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 9.04.
I've read several topics on how to do it on this and other forums but have run into an error i'm not able to resolve. After installing the Catalyst driver, configuring xorg.conf with "aticonfig --initial" and rebooting, i can log in to X, open the Catalyst manager and the system seems to be working, although there's an awful lot of frame skipping when moving windows. However, when i try to launch a 3d application (ie. nexuiz) i get errors. I tried running glxinfo and glxgears but this is what i get:
While trying to find a solution, i've completely uninstalled the driver, i've checked that there's no other ati driver on my system and also i located and deleted any file that had fglrx in it, then reinstalled. Same thing happens. In my Xorg.0.log i found these lines, that seem to point to the source of the problem:
in dmesg i found these 2 lines that seem relevant with the issue:
So, now i have lots of frame skipping and no 3d acceleration. Any help to resolve any of these 2 issues will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
stefanos
