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&pastesudo 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 lineOpenGL renderer string
. It should containr300g
. If you havesoftware rasterizer
its not OK.
