Problem: By default the xorg.conf FireGL 128MB radeon driver settings are slow settings
Solution: to get a faster behavior do edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(Update: use Driver “ati” for 3D, use “radeon” for better flashvideos)
# sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and change radeon area to:
Section "Device"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "True"
Identifier "ATI FireGL T2"
Driver "radeon"
VideoRam 131072
Option "UseFBDev" "off"
Option "MergedFB" "off"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AccelDFS" "on"
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

System: AMD Phenom X4 Geforce 7900 GTS or 8400GS Lucid Lynx AMD64
Problem: The current driver fails on some Systems with default kernel 2.6.32
Solution:
- go http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/
- download kernel images for your System and headers into a folder named kernel
- go into folder kernel with #cd kernel
- install pakets with #sudo dpkg -i *.deb
- reboot
- if Xserver fails select “start Xserver with low resolution”
- go Systemsettings/Hardware Drivers
- select Nvidia-Current install again
- reboot and test the System
Background: ACPI was renewed inside the kernel, cause at startup kernel echos
“ACPI: resource piix4_smbus [0xb00-0xb07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [0x000b00-0x000b0f" with 2.6.32
now:
"ACPI: resource piix4_smbus [io 0x0b00-0x0b07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [dma 2816-2831 pref disabled]”
(patched Kernel 2.6.34)

Problem: If you install Lucid Lynx on a very old
Laptop (600Mhz/8MB Videoram) the Desktop is very slow.
Solution:
- run as user #gconf-editor
- go /apps/panel/global/tooltips_enabled and remove the cross
- go /apps/metacity/general set cross at reduced_resources
- enable as user “handicapted-settings” at ubuntu sytem menu
- close all and relogin to Desktop it should now speed up
to this:
Speed up Desktop load with:
- go to console (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- login as user
- run #sudo service gdm stop
- run #sudo Xorg -configure this will create new xorg.conf
- run #sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- run #sudo service gdm start
Now GDM or the Deskop is loaded faster! Cause the xorg.conf is pre-configured

Mac OS is NOT shown under ubuntu you will see PC Name like “Laptop”
Problem: On Lucid the cdrdao Plugin Version is too old, Bug is reported
Solution: For Newbies and normal Users install K3B Burn Program
Screenshot of Bug, toc2cue and cdrdao is already installed!!
