Do a search in synaptic. ati the driver is in there for your card.

This proprietary ATI driver supports these products:
- Radeon 9500/9550/9600/9700/9800 cards
- Radeon X300/X550/X600/X700/X800/X850 scards
- Radeon X1300/X1600/X1800/X1900 cards
- Radeon Xpress 200/200M/1250 cards
- Mobility Radeon 9500/9550/9600/9800 cards
- Mobility Radeon X300/X600/X700/X800 cards
- Mobility Radeon X1300/X1400/X1600/X1800 cards
- FireMV 2200 cards
- FireGL X1-256p/X1-128/T2-128/Z1-128 cards
- FireGL X2-256 cards
- FireGL X3/X3-256 cards
- FireGL V3100/V3200/V3300/V3400 cards
- FireGL V5000/V5100/V5200 cards
- FireGL V7100/V7200/V7300/V7350 cards

You should install this package if you want to enable the ATI
proprietary X.org driver for those cards.

slick50 thanks for the help man, but i got that driver from synaptic, and also got the compiz-fusion icon (which i read somewhere would be what i need to get started w/ the eye candy) but....

still says no 3d desktop effect, and wont allow me to choose any other options in the Control Center>Hardware>Setup 3d Desktop.

i think this is such a cool option with all the screenshots i have looked at, would really like to check it out,

suggestions?

Not really needed.

I don't know for sure. I have a ati radeon 9500 after installing the priority drivers from the repo on one of my laptops and it works for me.
Not sure about yours though. (Radeon X1300) But a simple Control Center> Hardware> Setup 3d enable compiz> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and you should have it?

Unless you have something jacked up, or someone knows more about your particular video card.
Search the main forums for someone using the Radeon X1300...
I'm sure it is capable of doing 3D.

Hi

I have a laptop using a ATI Radeon Xpress 200M and had the same problem.

What I did was download the latest drivers (Version 8.3) from the ATI website. Uninstalled the one from synaptic, then installed the one from ATI.

It seemed to work best with a fresh install of PCLOS and then install the driver from ati rather than the one in the repo.

Hope this is helpful.
