ATI Radeon HD4850 driver for Jaunty

fedry · June 2009

Hi,

I installed the proprietary ATI graphic card driver, however I found the performance is worse that this restricted driver is deactivated.

In this wiki site, it is mentioned that there is an issue regarding framebuffer with HD4850.

Anybody has successfully utilize this graphic card with another driver?

I personally only use Nvidia cards because their proprietary drivers have aleays performed well on my system, however since the ATI drivers are now being developed as open source their quality should improve.

But if you are impatient and want it to work correctly now I would recommend an Nvidia based card.
