how can i make this video card work well as i wish??

[sdowney717]

install linux google earth and if it works poorly, then just buy an Nvidia card.

You are just beating a dead horse with an ATI card and giving yourself grief, just search thru all the posts and you will see that ATI is a problem with linux. If you go to the ubuntu forum, you will see the same complaints.

And you will also see that most of the solutions dont work, and when they do work, I question if the user really knows its working like it should.

Someday, the programmers will figure this out.

on my old laptop I actually got better performance with the default "radeon" drivers than fglrx. have you tried the performance of the default drivers?

[sdowney717]

thats what I use, but I still cant do anything fancy.
I tried beryl and it was interesting, but it slowed down my screen too much.
I have an ATI Radeon 9600
