• Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala and ATI Radeon 9250 fix

by Stanley, October 31, 2009

I’m using ATI Radeon 9250 and Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) can’t seem to configure my graphics card properly which makes the entire system so sluggish it’s impossible to use. As a note to self, I’m putting the contents of my custom xorg.conf file in my blog for future reference.

Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala installation doesn’t have a xorg.conf fresh out of the box. So I had to manually create the file, put these lines of configuration code in it and save it. Restart X.
