    Compiz Problems

    I am definetely a newbie, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

    I am running a Dell Inspiron e1505 with 1 Gig of ram and an ATI x1400 card. I recently installed compiz fusion and it's running, but very slowly and with a low framerate. The application also causes the entire OS to run rather slow. I went to see what was taking up all of my memory noticed that Xgl seemed to be using a lot. Can anyone direct me in the right direction as to how to fix this problem?

    What driver are you using for your video card? Post your xorg.conf for us.
    Code:
    sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

      I did what you said and this is what I got. Apparently it didn't work.

      mattbracewell@ubuntu:~$ sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
      [sudo] password for mattbracewell:
      sudo: kate: command not found
      mattbracewell@ubuntu:~$

        From the console, type instead:
        Code:
        cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Copy and paste the results in a reply.

          I actually got it to work! I opened up driver manager and downloaded a proprietary driver and it's working now. What exactly were you having me do? Here's what I got.

          mattbracewell@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
          # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
          #
          # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
          # values from the debconf database.
          #
          # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
          # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
          #
          # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
          # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
          # package.
          #
          # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
          # again, run the following command:
          # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

            Re: Compiz Problems

            Your xorg.conf gives a discription of what type of keyboard, mouse, monitor and video card/driver that you're using. Seeing I didn't want to go back and forth with you, anyone (and that includes me) reading the contents and is knowledgeable, would be able to point you in the right direction including taking the step that you took on your own. Glad you got it resolved though.
