Comment 19 for bug 194249

I know this is off topic but to the person who has problems with ati drivers
then look at this.
"If fglrxinfo doesn't display the ATI name which I dont think it will (maybe
something else like mesa) go here
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide.
This is a good walkthrough on how to add to 8.04 but there will be one for
early versions.

If it does show Ati just try adding Option "TexturedVideo" under driver =
fglrx in your xorg.conf. If it doesn't work I recommend the link.

Made enormous difference. I can now display 1920x1080 with MythTv whereas
before it was very jerky.

Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "TexturedVideo"
EndSection"
