For some reason I can't get ATI FGLRX Drivers to support 3D acceleration on Ubuntu 12.04

http://askubuntu.com – I have an ATI 5650m and I've had 0 issues with 3D Acceleration in the past. I had to reinstall Ubuntu entirely, and now with the 12.6 drivers I get - One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system I can't seem to solve this issue. I installed the FGLRX drivers through the "alternate command line" guide on the Ubuntu Wiki including the instructions for getting 3D support. They seem to install but I get an error with vainfo libva: VA-API version 0.32.0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva: Tryi (HowTos)

I installed ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst 12.04) as described here. Everything went fine and got no errors. However I can not play smooth HD videos.

On my desktop, HD Videos sometimes lags (horizontal lines) when the camera moves too fast in the video. Searching on google said something about enabling hardware acceleration.I checked the pdf here specs & it has something written about HD video playback.So, I checked if I had libva package installed. It was installed but libva-driver-intel was not installed.

Hi there,

I have Mythbuntu 12.04 working fine except for enabling the Intel HD graphics GPU. While tuning OTA channels both processors almost max out.

Hello,

since I read for the first about the magic VAAPI that allow the brand new intel CPU/GPU to do accelerated video decoding I was always wondering if my own system was able to do it.

As Intel is the main provider of CPUs it seemed to me that it should be included by default...

Hello there.

I am new to fedora. I am trying to install my video drivers as KDE is a bit slow using the free drivers.

I downloaded http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...eon_linux.aspx

I also installed kernel, kernel-devel

Check if system has the tools required for installation. fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.
