ATI driver problem after upgrade to Intrepid Ibex from Hardy (2)

The fglrx is still can not been used. The problem was described in last post.

The solution for using "radeon" is :

sudo apt-get install envyng-core
sudo envyng -t

select uninstall ATI driver

change the xorg.conf to use "radeon"

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection

reboot

Enable desktop effects in Systerm->Appearance->Effects

Enjoy it!!!!

ATI driver problem after upgrade to Intrepid Ibex from Hardy

First, you can't open X with old driver. If you change Driver "fglrx" to "vesa", it will work without 3D effect.

The error in Xorg.0.log is:

(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)
(II) UnloadModule: "dri"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

The solution is :

sudo apt-get install envyng-core
sudo envyng -t

choose to remove all ati drivers

Then change xorg.conf to
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection

Then go to System-> Preference -> Appearance

Enable the 3D effect in one tab. The system will install the driver for you automatically.

Enjoy it:)

I think the key is remove old ATI drivers.

Matlab 2008a

Unable to initialize com.mathworks.mwswing.MJStartup
Fatal Error on startup: Failure loading desktop class

Solution:

cd ~
cd .matlab
sudo chown usrname:usrname -R R2008a/

那是因为你用root装的，你home目录下的.matlab/R2008a/ owner是root。把他改成你自己就好了。我试过，没问题的
