Thread: ATI radeon 9100IGP in Xubuntu 11.04

i casual ubuntu user last few years have taken plunge full xubuntu laptop install operating system. pretty computers linux/ubuntu knowledge average @ best.

installed catalyst card, , kept getting "card not found message". did purge , reinstall of opensource drivers. start have few questions.

jesse@jclaptop:~$ lspci -nn | grep vga

kernel driver in use: radeon

me looks saying 256m shared video card. believe 128m. (in wondows xp last 5 years has been). under syspeek says have 874mb memory, makes sense of 1028mb - 874 mb = 128mb video.

have input? flash games run crap flash video seem ok, if have learn live or can optimize card?

sorry in advance if breaking posting etiquette, first post.
thanks

tried this, think see there 128m vram.

know line fb: conflicting [ 24.943785] fb hw usage radeondrmfb vs vesa vga - removing generic driver.

trying video card running optimally, lot researching seems video cards trickiest thing linux
