Enabling 3D effects in Ubuntu 7.10 on ATI x 1250

Posted on November 3rd, 2007 | by Ankur Shrivastava |

So after a long time of SUSE use i went back to my Ubuntu install when i was reminded by Sohil about the 3D effects which were working on Ubuntu 7.04 with the new ATI 8.42.3 drivers and well it was like a challenge for me to enable those in my install. So here i present you the way to enable those in your Ubuntu 7.10 fresh install with the ATI 8.42.3 drivers, just install the xserver-xgl package sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl and reboot enjoy
