Solutions
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (128 MB)
To get hardware acceleration and a resolution >1024x768, you need to install ATI's fglrx driver.
1. Install the fglrx driver:
$ sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
2. In Edgy the Composite extension is enabled by default, however, fglrx does not yet support Composite with DRI. In order to disable Composite you have to edit the xorg.conf file:
$ sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3. Add these lines at the end of the file:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection
4. Now activate the fglrx driver:
$ sudo aticonfig --initial
$ sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
5. After restarting your system (or alternatively doing CtrlAltBackspace to restart the X Server) your system will be running the fglrx drivers.
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter
Getting WPA working with your Wifi card is easy.
1. Install the network-manager-gnome package
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
2. You have to deactivate the GNOME network settings for all networking devices that should be controlled by network-manager:
System -> Administration -> Network
3. In the network settings deactivate the Wifi network.
4. Log out and log in again to activate the new settings.
IrDA 1.1 (FIR - 4Mbps)
IrDA does not work out-of-the-box because the necessary package and configuration is not included in a stock Ubuntu install.
