Notes

Laptops with mobility radeon 9000/9100 IGP (rs300m chipsets based) having to use mesa drivers for a partial 3D acceleration and enabling some things with driconf. Ati don't provide any 3D acceleration for this chipset. *

Wireless works perfectly with ndiswrapper.

"End" key is mapped to "Prior" by default. Can be fixed with: xmodmap -e 'keycode 99 = End'

Firewire works perfectly (tested with Kino).

* This chipset have a good 3d support only with mesa 6.5.2. In Gutsy/Hardy you have to downgrade (follow the guide "How i can have a good 3D acceleration?") r200 modules and some libraries to prevent "GL_Extensions" problems in games like "Quake 3 Arena", "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" or "Tremulous"...

How i can have a good 3D acceleration?

Assuming you using Gutsy, go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and download this packages for Feisty:

1) libgl1-mesa-dri (this package contain r200_dri.so module)
2) libgl1-mesa-glx (this package contain libGL.so.1.2 library)
3) libglu1-mesa (this package contain libGLU.so.1.3.060502 library)

Extract these packages, i used "Ark"

Now open a terminal and navigate to "/usr/lib/"

Create a backup of these files:

sudo mv libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.2.backup
sudo mv libGLU.so.1.3.070001 libGLU.so.1.3.070001.backup
sudo mv libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so.1.backup

Replace these files with those taken from libgl1-mesa-glx/libglu1-mesa packages, example:

sudo mv /home/you/libgl1-mesa-glx/data/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
sudo mv /home/you/libglu1-mesa/data/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060502 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1.3.060502...

Now navigate to "/usr/lib/dri/"

Create a backup of this file:

sudo mv r200_dri.so r200_dri.so.backup

Replace it with this taken from libgl1-mesa-dri package, example:

sudo mv /home/you/libgl1-mesa-dri/data/usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/r200_dri.so

Now navigate to "/etc/X11/"

Create a backup of xorg.conf:

sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup

Open it with your favourite editor:

sudo/gksu/kdesudo nano/gedit/kate xorg.conf

Make your modifies like this configuration:

Now install "driconf":

sudo apt-get install driconf

Press alt+f2, type driconf and press "enter".

In "Performance", search for "Use HyperZ to boost performance" and enable it.

In "Features that are not hardware-accelerated", enable "Enable extension GL_NV_vertex_program".

Reboot your laptop or press ctrl+alt+del to restart X, after this you have a good 3D acceleration

PS. Try "glxgears", it can be a nice benchmark...

With this trick i got a lot of frames:

8066 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1613.013 FPS
8162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1632.238 FPS
8162 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1632.228 FPS
8167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1633.371 FPS
8165 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1632.976 FPS

Have Fun!
