Hi all,
I hope this is not too detailed a question, but currently I cannot use BC3 on my Dell Latitude D610 with an ATI X300 graphics card, neither with the OSS nor the AMD fglrx drivers - reliably, after some time (~max. 15mins) my system load goes up to >5, and the whole system gets unresponsive when I do a binary compare between two remote directories, one cifs, one nfs, using gigabit ethernet.
I assume that this is one of the many problems I seem to be facings with the ATI graphics driver, high loads and processes sharing 100% CPU with Xorg are often seen as well with FF and/or Thunderbird and/or ntfs-3g, or combinations of these - it looks as if Xorg is in a loop, and settles to decent behaviour a couple of minutes after all applications involved are shutdown/killed.
The reason I ask here is that for the last two weeks that I have been testing BC3 (btw, thanks for that possibility!
), this has been the most reliable way to trigger such behaviour, and currently I am trying as a last effort to resolve these effects, or will switch to another distro...
Is anybody seeing either smilar behaviour on his/her machine, or are there users with Ubuntu and a radeon ATI card for which this combination works?
Again, sorry if this is too detailed or OT,
TIA, greets, tobi...
