It's good that you posted xorg.conf
One of the first lines reads
This file was generated by failsafeDexconf
As soon as this message is present there is something seriously wrong with your video system
And it is if I'm not mistaken
If this is as I believe a fairly new high end graphics card then this message is downright wrong
the Restricted device manager, but when I start it it tells me "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers".
This could be because you did not let Envy configure your xorg.conf when it wanted to
Run

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
as suggested in the emergency xorg.conf

I'll try and give this a run through and seen if I get the same errors with my 3870.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I've improved my situation but I still can't get my 3d acceleration to work properly. I've reached a few milestones in the past few days with other unfriendly-to-linux hardware and I'm hoping I can get over this little hurdle. I've tried a few different versions of the driver but they give me the same result.

I had to mess with envy a bit to get it to edit my xorg.conf and after I did I reinstalled the driver manually and now the ati catalyst controll center displays my card properly but fglrxinfo still shows:

Code: Select all

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3)
My Xorg.conf is now this:

Code: Select all
