Hey all, I seem to be unable to get the correct graphics card drivers to be used. I have an ATI x1300. I'm going to give you the ouput of a few commands and files, so you can understand what is going on. I'm trying to get the fglrx drivers to work, but my window system keeps using mesa3d:
fglrxinfo
display: :1.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: Mesa Home Page
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)
I was told to change the Xorg file, but it already has fglrx in it:
I've tried using the info from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI but I get an error that fglrx.ko already exists.Code:# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

I've tried to go into the Restricted Drivers in ubuntu administration, but it said i was already using the restricted drivers. I really don't know what else to do.
What I'm really trying to do is use wine. It was working when i was using the proprietary drivers, but now everything I run that uses graphics doesn't work. I believe this to be because I installed compiz fusion and emerald and open source drivers were installed. I really want to be able to have window animations and be able to use wine, so I'm hoping there is a way to go between drivers whenever I want.
