I have having issues with my ATI 5770 on fglrx. It will not run on anything other than FGLRX. The screen is choppy and i cant use boxee/xbmc

Here is some stuff I thought was useful.
Code:
Boxee
10/06/10 23:35:10#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:180(Start)#bg process [name=] initialized. [m_lazy=1=TRUE] -> MaxNumOfWorkingThreads was set to [2]
10/06/10 23:35:10#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:180(Start)#bg process [name=Application Messenger] initialized. [m_lazy=1=TRUE] -> MaxNumOfWorkingThreads was set to [1]
10/06/10 23:35:10#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:180(Start)#bg process [name=Http Cache CleanUp] initialized. [m_lazy=1=TRUE] -> MaxNumOfWorkingThreads was set to [1]
10/06/10 23:35:10#DEBUG#bxcurl.cpp:98(Initialize)#curl initialized. version <7.20.1>

Running Boxee test...
And the log goes to... /tmp/profx-boxee.log

Try running those commands under a normal user instead of root. I don't know about fglrxinfo but I have to do that for glxinfo to get results.

I just search the forum for ATI drivers but missed your post as you titled it 5770.

OpenGL support for ATI comes in the forrm of ATI's catalyst drivers:

http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page


The wiki above lists links to distributions. No PClinuxos but remember this distro started life
as Mandriva, but uses the best parts of all distros.

It looks as though solution is to download the ati driver, make sure its excutable (chmod +x if required)
and install from terminal

What I want to know is how bad is "choppy"?
Can you watch youtube videos, open gimp images or play extreme-tux-racer?
Also what video resolution are you running at the moment?

xrandr -q

will show you resolution.
