Ubuntu – Bad performance with ATI Radeon X1300

10.04atiperformancevideo

i'm having problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and my Ati radeon X1300.
In particular i can't enable effect (compiz) because they are SLOW, and, for example, the same game (hedgewars) on the same pc run very slowly on Linux, nor in Windows.

With my old Ubuntu (9.04) i didn't have the same problem.

Does anyone help me to "configure" the right driver for my video card ? I've tested with proprietary (fglrx) and open (xorg..-ati-radeon)… Either give me some problem :(!

Thank you!

I have ATI Radeon 9600m and works very well with "r300g" driver. To install you only need to add xorg-edger PPA.

Open terminal and copy&past sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa and press enter. After copy&paste sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade and press enter.

You can check which driver do you use by command glxinfo (Install: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils). Check line OpenGL renderer string. It should contain r300g. If you have software rasterizer its not OK.
