Hello Everyone, |
2 |
|

I have a couple of questions concerning what graphic drivers you use. Does |
4 |
anyone use the proprietary ATI drivers, or have used them? Would you recommend |
5 |
them? I just recently started using the ati-drivers package, but I don't |
6 |
really notice a difference - yes it does say the frame rate is much higher, but |
7 |
I am not sure it is worth losing my framebuffer over them. |
8 |
|

Technically, I lost my frame buffer because I am using an initramfs (initrd) |
10 |
because I have an encrypted root file system, and a separate non-encrypted usr |
11 |
partition. I still have not been able to figure out how to get either uvesafb |
12 |
or vesafb working through the initramfs. They will both load fine, before my |
13 |
initrd starts, then they seem to disappear. |

In case you're wondering, before I changed to the proprietary ati drivers, I |
16 |
was using the kernel framebuffer for my video card(s). Two Radeon HD 5000 |
17 |
series cards. I did have to insert the proper ucode into my kernel, but it worked. |
