Hi, I've been watching all discussions relating to ATI Radeon RV250
[Mobility FireGL 9000] for several months now. I've tried this card in 2
different machines now. The current system is running 3G dual core CPU's
with 2G ram. I've been attempting to set up a system that will handle 3D
graphics so I could attempt running some games. I'm just about ready to
give up and go back to a Windows machine for the game. I know most of my
issues is lack of knowledge, but I've always figured, if you don't try,
you don't learn. Anyway, this ATI card was purchased for the task
several months ago. I've tried the proprietary drivers but they simply
won't run 3D at all. The XOrg drivers run 3D but I keep having crashes
where I lose colour, there's lines all through the graphics. This
usually starts in the back ground and as I continue to work, each window
slowly gets taken over till all I can do is reboot. I got excited when I
read the above explanation as it is Firefox more often than not that
seems to feature in the crash sequence. I installed add-apt-repository
ppa:bryceharrington/purple and thought the problem was gone but it has
crashed at least once since. I read some other ideas on the problem once
before by Bryce Harrington but through other problems lost the page and
haven't been able to find it again. If someone has a fix for this and a
very basic explanation it would be greatly appreciated. I love Ubuntu
for everyday use and greatly appreciate the help given by the many
generous people involved. Thank you all.
