[Bug 1238188] Re: no desktop effects on a radeon 3100 graphics card in saucy

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Hans-Peter, as per
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3658111&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain

an update is available for your BIOS (3.14 Rev. A). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it
change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  On raring, my radeon 3100 was working pretty well. desktop cube switch was working, for example. Blur effect slowed the desktop down. When I upgraded to saucy on sept. 25 I soon noticed that the desktop was very fast. I could even enable blur effect and it didn't do any harm. After the update on Sept. 30. all the graphics performance was gone. Most desktop effects are disabled. Compositing type is set to XRender, Qt graphics sytem is set to Native. When I try to set Compositing Type to OpenGL and Qt graphics sytem to Raster, I get the message, that 6 desktop effect could not be enabled. Detail window says this is because they require OpenGL. I have no idea where to start digging, so any help is appreciated.
  regards,Hans-Peter
  BTW: I'm not using the fglrx driver. I guess they quit support for the 3100 a year ago, or maybe two (or they messed something up)
