Hey

Well Envy just installs ATi drivers .

Well I did not finished that lol.
should be

Well Envy just installs ATi drivers from ATI/AMD site so there is no need to downloading those drivers by yourself.

I guess you already know that.

About xorg.conf
Run this command

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and copy the output.


I realy don't think so you could even run compiz and emerald with some results.
On HH I manage it ( with 9550) - but that was realy painfull.
If you have chance to switch vga to GF - do so, if you want to stay sane on Linux.
ATI wants to make linux users do some creazy Capoeira with Xorg and drivers - this is just so stupid.

Also try out

glxinfo | grep direct

If there is "no" ( I believe that there truly is) - say bb to games or hello to Xorg's Capoeira.

I am still with no GS on linux :/ ehh. And I am to leazy to work it out .

If you want smth similar to GS - maybe Wings3D( I did not try it). Should be at repo.

Peace

I had 9550. In Hardy finaly ATi drives worked properly. But I still had black window in GS.

That is where the metacity --replace & command comes in. It's compiz screwing your display up. This command replaces compiz with metacity and hey presto lots of people have working systems.

BTW ... you say you still don't have GS working and you are too lazy to get it working ... which makes me wonder what you will actually add to this thread?

I asked for xorg.conf to see how is configured monitor.
I was wondering to see that kind of particular part ( that example is from mine on 7300).

I got somwhere back ups of mine xorg.conf configured for diffrent drivers for my old 9550. And I am pretty sure I run it even on 800x600 with both drivers ( stock and ATI) - and there was no cookies.
I wonder why this crap doesn't work in other resolutions then 800x600 oO.
That is why I asked for his xorg.conf.

And I am somekind of creazy - now I think about backing to my ATI VGA to check out "if It will run..."- I hope weekend will be full of stuff to do. But I am still to lazy to work out OpenGl problem on wine with 7300

Peace
