Re: new linux user having probs w/ dominions
card is ATI Radeon 4850 chipset (the exact model is HIS ATI Radeon 4850 IceQ Turbo 512... or something like that)
I didn't know there was a setting up the driver. I simply enabled the restricted drivers in the hardware driver manager and it said it automatically configured it. I went into the configuration utility that then came with the driver, but I don't recall there being anything interesting in there (stuff having to do with monitor color and such; a lot of options were simply grayed out).
it runs just fine until it tries to reawake. it restarts just fine whenever I have to manually push the button and turn the damn thing off after hanging on reawake attempts. There is a noticable improvement in how the windows and such move across the screen. when the driver was active movement was silky smooth, and the fade ins and outs and minimize fades looked perfect. with the driver off a little trace of frames as the windows move, come up, and minimize is visible.
