Topic: Iceweasel + FGLRX

Hi everyone,

if you have graphic problems with Iceweasel and other programs after updating your fglrx-driver, this is the solution (as root):

# aticonfig --set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE

Made my day wink

Re: Iceweasel + FGLRX

the slowdown is insignificant and only in 2D rendering mode, i fixed my iceweasel-blackboxes-problem in the same way.

Re: Iceweasel + FGLRX

Hmm, if its only a small slow down i might give it a shot. I'm having a heck of a time installing flash otherwise...
