Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04: FireGL xorg.conf Thinkpad R50p

Problem: By default the xorg.conf FireGL 128MB radeon driver settings are slow settings

Solution: to get a faster behavior do edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(Update: use Driver “ati” for 3D, use “radeon” for better flashvideos)

# sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and change radeon area to:

Section "Device"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "M10 NT [FireGL Mobility T2]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
