Now that I looked closer, you are using an ancient version of |
| 23 |
ati-drivers (8.552-r2). What is your card? If it's an HD2xxx or |
| 24 |
higher, please try updating to ati-drivers-9.9 or 8.660 (this one is |
| 25 |
actually newer than 9.9 but it's an Ubuntu release and masked). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If your card is not an HD-series card (that means X1xxx and older), you |
| 28 |
might have better luck switching to the open source drivers instead. |
