Problem With Some Effects (ATI)

[iliaszou]

Hello guys. Yesterday i installed Backtrack 5. After 5-10 minutes from a boot up, backtrack freezes. I've searched a little and i found that it was a problem with the drivers of ATI so i downloaded ATI 11.6 and i installed it from the run file. Now some of the effects doesn't work such as blur, wobbly windows, fall apart and others. I have Mobility Radeon 4650 and Backtrack 5 KDE. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thnx

I've tried this but it didn't fix:
1: ./*run --buildpkg Ubuntu/xxxx
2: Installed fglrx_8.861.deb
3: prepare-kernel-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/

Is there any other solution?

Thanks

I have ATI Mobility Radeon 5470 and i've solved this problem follow that:
1. Install Software Center by:
# apt-get install software-center

2. Open Ubuntu Software Center and Find for a keyword "driver" (without quotes)
and you will see Hardware drivers.... > Install it

3. After install Hardware Drivers..:
Go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

Finally, you just Activate your ATI driver.

Goodluck! ^.^

Hello! Sorry for a clumsy way like above, but there still have the easiest way to do.

1. Download driver for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 from AMD

2. Install following (I saved the file on Desktop).
root@bt:~# cd Desktop/
root@bt:~/Desktop# ls
ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run ATI Driver link
root@bt:~/Desktop# chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run
root@bt:~/Desktop# sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run
Created directory fglrx-install.BXtPbY
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Return to terminal and type:

In my opinion, wobbly and some effects won't work in VMware, because it only has some generic graphic card.
To enable windows effects, you should install Compiz Fusion and Ubuntu Tweak.
