Comment 12 for bug 182176

@Jerry,

I see you installed Hardy from the CD. I have then a couple of questions.
Do you have a separate /home partition? If so, what kind of eyecandy did
you install under gutsy and feisty? I'm basically trying to find out
whether your issues are related to a config file clash. Oh! and just for
the record: what's your graphics card? I fear I've missed it.

@wilbur

If your macbook has an ATi card, I fear you're out of luck by now. The
proprietary fglrx driver doesn't support AIGLX under xserver 1.4 (hardy's
version) and the free drivers (either radeon or radeonhd) released still
don't support 3D on these cards. If you have an X1600, though, you could
compile radeon from CVS.
