11.10 - ATI Catalyst drivers slowness

I have managed to install the drivers, but after installing those drivers moving different windows such as browser is very laggy.

Why is that? I also tried older drivers, but they all have the same problem. I have ATI Radeon HD5850.

I installed this driver: AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver. I can't remember how I installed it, because I installed Ubuntu again because of the drivers. All I remember that it was very easy. The file was .run. I have only one screen (Asus VE247**)

You need to install CompizConfig Settings Manager

1. Run it.




2. Click on OpenGL.




3. Set texture filter to FAST.




4. Uncheck sync to vblank.




5. log out and back on.

Note: You may need to enable tear free in Catalyst afterwards.

Enjoy.
