Beta 2 Arrives For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx"

[Kano]

Ok, well that card (68c1) is enabled in the fglrx driver since 9-9 at least (did not check older drivers). Did it never work?

[TheWretched]

Never worked in Ubuntu 10.4 to say the least (only got the laptop some weeks ago and never tried anything beside that).

That's clear, but using Kanotix (or U 9.10 if you prefer) you could use much older drivers too.

I've upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, deinstalled the fglrx driver from 9.10 and installed the new driver from the repos of 10.04 but it seems that the new driver doesn't want to work.

I'm playing a few games (Heroes of Newerth, bloodfrontier...) and they just won't work. HoN just crashes without an error in the logfile and bloodfrontier does the same.

lsmod says that fglrx is up and running, same goes for fglrxinfo.

Weird...

oh, my graphiccard is a Radeon HD5870 which worked nice in 9.10 with latest AMD drivers

Just tried to start alien-arena and I'm getting this on terminal

^1...GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not found

google gives only old results (2007).

[Detructor]

ah, I've found something

(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration disabled

found it in the Xorg.0.log.

Is the driver not ready yet?

[Detructor]

meh. forgot to edit xorg.conf. fglrx is up now...but still I can't get any game to run
