Ubuntu - updating FGLRX

zithe · Aug 31, 2008, 10:21 PM

Anyone know the command for updating FGLRX drivers in ubuntu? I'm getting lackluster performance in WoW from my X1800XT and ATI is notorious for bouncing around with WoW it seems. ><

Thanks.

I keep getting posts from 4-5 years ago in google lol.

Sorry for the bump. That didn't work. There's no 'use custom command' selection under 'other application'.

There should be something along that terms at the bottom of the window with a small triangle, click on the triangle and type the command.

Code:

startx
