Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty (Linux.com)Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty (Linux.com)Posted Feb 14, 2007 9:13 UTC (Wed) by eklitzke (subscriber, #36426)In reply to: Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty (Linux.com) by jwb Parent article: Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty (Linux.com)
I'm not familiar with your chipset, but in my experience X is a lot better on Fedora than on Ubuntu. I have FC6 and Edgy on my laptop, and getting things like external monitors to work in Ubuntu is kind of cumbersome and involves editing the xorg.conf file. OTOH, Fedora has their X configuration set up somehow to automatically configure itself correctly. There aren't any resolutions or sync rates in the xorg.conf file whatsoever, the default is to have everything automatically detected at runtime. It may be worth finding out if your problems are due to a lack of drivers, or just the way that the folks at Ubuntu have X configured.
