Is Radeon HD 6950 working with 11.10?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2142 / 3 Years ago, fri, may 21, 2021, 9:50:40

I have tried to install the AMD Proprietary Driver by following this guide
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide
but I guess I didn't succeed. In the standard Unity mode, the movement of the windows were really slow/laggy, but the 2D mode was working just fine.

Can anyone who succeed to use 11.10 with HD6950 help me? Which driver should I use and how should I install it?

I use HD 5850, so it's not exactly the same, but my impression is that it's the same for all the newer cards. The proprietary driver is much slower than the open Radeon driver. I also had some problems with it, but none with the open driver. It's installed by default, so you don't need to install it. Your link doesn't appear to be functional, so I don't know what you did.
