ATI Radeon 9600
« on: November 17, 2008, 04:54:05 am »
Hi,
I tested ATI Radeon 9600 but have no luck with it because. I installed latest fglrx drivers and LinuxMCE UI still doesn't work with it (except the simple UI).

When testing video capabilities of video card with this guide:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Graphics_Test
Masking works but when I try compositing video testing app just crashes.

I made new wiki entry:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ATI_Radeon-9600-AGP

Is there a hope of getting this video card working with UI2?

Chould I report a bug? Troubleshoot some more (how)? Give up?

Is there any hope this card will work better in new LinuxMCE 0810?

Any tips/tricks appreciated.

Maybe 810 will be nicer to ati cards, but after battling with my ati 2600hd pro card trying to get it to work properly for awhile, I scrapped it and found an old nvidia 5950 that ... sadly, even being a million years older, works 10x better with linuxmce....

My best advice would be to do the same, I had the same quirks, I was always so close to getting it to behave properly...  I'm glad I just ripped it out and got an old nvidia card for now...

Sorry, these were "sort of" developer questions. Please move this thread to user section if feel it should go there.
