ATI Radeon Xpress 200M on Ubuntu 9.04 S-Video problem

[Maeda_Keiji]

It's running very nice, i can run urban terror great, the never putt game also runs great xDDD lolol but i have a problem it seems my laptop response got worst, like switching from directory A to B with alt+tab or while surfing in Firefox and scrolling down, sometimes firefox gets dark before continuing, is it because i'm using JFS instead of EXT3 in a laptop with only 512Mb shared memory?

Thanks for all the help

Cheers,
Maeda

I haven't tested the S-Video but I do know that glxgears runs bether now, it gives me 1040fps D while using the ati driver in Kubuntu 8.04 it doesn't go past 700fps not even close :s

I am receiving some erros while loading and exiting the glxgears:

Due to the fact that there are massive problems with Java Programming in 9.04 and s-video problems, I decided to give 8.04 LTS version a try....

EVERYTHING now works perfect without too many tweaks on my graphics driver set. I'd advise anyone with older hardware to use 8.04 rather than jaunty (9.04).

I know this isn't a fix but thought I'd let others know the EASIEST way to run Ubuntu on older systems.

Best of luck!
