Ubuntu

I have moved to Ubuntu Jaunty. I am still using windows as well for programs that refuse to work with wine, Although Ubuntu still has majority of the space on the 80 gig drive.

I had some issues with the the xorg drivers for my ati graphic card. I can not use the driver put out by ati. xorg would take up about 20% or more of CPU time which would slow the laptop down. However I have found a website that had a forum where some had found that inserting Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" into the xorg.conf file would solve this issue, and it works.

This is what I entered into my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "AccelDFS" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "true"
EndSection
