Title: 3D grief with ati cards (ubuntu lucid 10.04)
Post by: kurja on November 26, 2011, 01:13:00 pm

hey,

I've got two ati cards, an old 9800 and a newer hd 3450, both agp versions. My understanding is that the old 9800 is not really supported by neither the x.org drivers nor ati catalyst, but I thought that with the newer hd 3450 I'd get things running... but no. In fact, with that older card I got a playable 40-50fps, but now I'm getting 5-25 and it just sucks. And that's without any shadings or such. Catalyst actually reported that it does not recognize my card! Would anyone have an idea on how I might get this working?

Coming back to this... turned out the ati hd series cards that are of the agp variant, are not supported by ati catalyst so one is pretty much stuck with the default drivers - which aren't very supportive either. Old radeon 9800 isn't supported by catalyst either, but seems to work better with default drivers.
