Has anyone who has installed the newest ATI drivers in Ubuntu noticed if it fixed the sound issues?<BR/><BR/>I'll get rid of my dual boot & go to Ubuntu-only as soon as I can get the dang audio to be less noisy! And, BTW, thanks so much for this blog - I'd never have gotten my Ubuntu install running so smoothly without it!lil0tikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09677854019316557805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-27471975338347244152008-02-02T15:06:00.000-06:002008-02-02T15:06:00.000-06:002008-02-02T15:06:00.000-06:00I experience a new problem now.

I love the animated dock-panel bar and would really love to have one. It (AWN) also requires AIGLX and I thought it would be ok now, but it isnt. Is there any way I can enable AIGLX or is it already enabled ?

The only thing worst is that Compiz seem slower,for example, when I play video or I have mamy windows opened and I use grafical effect.
