As per some ubuntuforums advice, i did sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk. it broke my x-server temporarily (i had to set "composite" in my xorg file to "false" manually) and the darn thing still doesn't work.
im running
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
right now.
brb.

Good lord, I suddenly somehow have working (and apparently) glitch-free 3D acceleration!
I was using the -14 kernel version because i never bothered installing wifi drivers for the newest kernel (-19); i finally got off my lazy arse and plugged into a wired ethernet port and did apt-get upgrade and apt-get update;
wallaaa, wireless works in the newest kernel, and everything is updated
then I go to Hardware Drivers and check the ATI accelerated Graphics Driver box for proprietary drivers.
and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file looks like this:
Code: Select all
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Also i had to disable all fancy desktop settings (although i dislike visual effects anyway), and holy cow, flawless working 3D hardware acceleration!

fullscreen is broken anyway since you can't alt-tab. use your window manager to set spring's window to fullscreen, works muuuch better.

At least 1 gig (can't remember offhand; not near the system)

You mean with the standard 'maximize' button in the upper right? or is there some config file somewhere?

KDE has a "fullscreen" option in the "right-click-on-the-title-bar" menu.

Dragon, the forums on Phoronix.com are a great resource for Linux driver discussion.
