| |
| − | To get hardware acceleration and a resolution >1024x768, you need to install ATI's fglrx driver.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Install the fglrx driver:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|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:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Add these lines at the end of the file:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Section "Extensions"
| |
| − | Option "Composite" "Disable"
| |
| − | EndSection
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Now activate the fglrx driver:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo aticonfig --initial}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | $ sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5. After restarting your system (or alternatively doing {{key|Ctrl}}{{key|Alt}}{{key|Backspace}} 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
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Install the missing package
| |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo apt-get install irda-utils}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Configure irda-utils
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo dpkg-reconfigure irda-utils}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. On the configure screen set the options as the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | Activate IrDa on boot-up: yes
| |
| − | Attempt to probe for IrDa at system boot: yes
| |
| − | Discovery mode: yes
| |
| − | Typ of the IrDa-adaptor: native
| |
| − | Typ of the FIR-chip: nsc-ircc
| |
| − | Options for the modules of the FIR-chip:
| |
| − | Port for setserial to deactivate:
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Restart IrDA:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo /etc/init.d/irda-utils stop}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo /etc/init.d/irda-utils start}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5. Load the FIR IrDA driver:
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|sudo modprobe irda0}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | 6. Now test if activating IrDA was successful. Place your IrDA device (mobile phone, PDA or whatever) in front of the IrDA eye and activate IrDA on your device. Doing a
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{cmduser|cat /proc/net/irda/discovery}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | should list your IrDA device.
