Let your Ubuntu7.10 shine.

If you are the owner of ATI graphics, if you are using Ubuntu7.10, if you really can't wait to make your Ubuntu shine, come with me. Install the 3D driver on Ubuntu7.10 (the premise is that you have successfully installed the graphics card driver. Note: If the graphics card driver is successfully installed, it does not mean that the 3D driver is also installed. You need to configure it separately) 1. Change the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE in the/etc/default/acpi-support file to true $ sudoge.

Install the 3D driver in Ubuntu7.10

(The premise is that you have successfully installed the video card driver. Note: if the video card driver is successfully installed, it does not mean that the 3D driver is also installed. You need to configure another one)

1. Change the ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE in the/etc/default/acpi-support file to true.

$ Sudo gedit/etc/default/acpi-support

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# Switch to laptop-mode on battery power-off by default as it causes odd

# Hangs on some machines

ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = true

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Change the FGLRX_ACPI_SWITCH_POWERSTATES in the/etc/default/fglrx file to true.

$ Sudo gedit/etc/default/fglrx

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# Uncomment the next line to enable powerstate switching on ACPI

# Events for lid open/close and AC adapter on/off

FGLRX_ACPI_SWITCH_POWERSTATES = true

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. Delete the following parts from the/etc/X11/xorg. conf file. The new xorg service enables the default "Composite ".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# Section "Extensions"

# Option "Composite" "0"

# EndSection

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Replace the content under "# Driver whitelist" in the/usr/bin/compiz file with the following content (enclosed in quotation marks)

$ Sudo gedit/usr/bin/compiz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WHITELIST = "fglrx nvidia intel ati radeon i810"

# Blacklist based on the pci ids

# BLACKLIST_PCIIDS = "$ T"

BLACKLIST_PCIIDS = ""

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
