Ah ok, looks cool, though it's a bit slow without a working 3d acceleartion (messed up the driver when trying to use the ATI Installer after having compiled my own kernel which destroyed the working installation on my old kernel and reinstalling doesn't fix it, I hate ATI)

I use AIGLX, which is works perfectly with my aging ATI Radeon 9600pro 256mb. It also works with all Nvidia cards so I am led to believe.

Ubuntu allows access to this driver IIRC if you enable the restricted repositories.

Only thing you will manually have to tweak is your xorg.conf.

now to try this flying disks thing, to see how it performs

[EDIT]Works Very Nicely indeed , Tune gets annoying though lol[/EDIT]

@LuCiFeR[SD]
Well yes, older ATI models run fine because they are supported by the OpenSource Radeon driver, but both mobile cards and newer ones like the X1400 in my Intel based iMac do work only with the proprietry fgrlx drier which doesn't work with AIGLX, it does also have problem with X.org > 7.1 (I have 7.2) and the Installer killed my working fglrx installtion when I tried to build a module for my new kernel with it, reinstalling fgrlx with apt-get doesn't work because the installer realy< did a very good job in b0rking my system, it even broke my gdm session file which stopped gnome from working, in fact only the rescue xterminal session worked, however I could solve that by changing the permissions on the gdm file back to normal, please don't ask me why a driver installer messes around with a file like that. It definitely shouldn't.

Sorry Nik, I wasn't aware of you Linux knowledge or your GFX card model. hehe, well, it may help a few of the people struggling with Linux if nothing else

And now I will stop Hijacking the thread

very cool

it runs a bit fast on my machine (amd athlon 64 3000+ and nVidia 5900xt) in both modes...
