=== Notes ===

==== Sound ====

Ubuntu 7.04 & 7.10 puts on the wrong position, laptop speaker's on surround channel. Go to Volume Control, go to Edit > Preferences, enable "Surround". Unmute and raise the "Surround" volume bar up.

==== Bluetooth ====

Install these packages to have bluetooth works on Ubuntu 7.04.
 * bluez-gnome
 * gnome-bluetooth
 * libbtctl4
 * libopenobex1
 * libgnomebt0
 * bluetooth

==== Compiz Desktop Effects ====

Use the new ATI driver https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run

The new ATI drivers use AIGLX so there is not need to install XGL that older drivers (< 8.40) required.

After installing ATI driver, do these steps:

Remove this section from to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The new xorg server enables "Composite" by default.

{{{
# Section "Extensions"
#        Option  "Composite" "0"
# EndSection
}}}

Compiz does not know about the fglrx driver. You can either skip the checks

{{{
mkdir -p ~/.config/compiz && echo SKIP_CHECKS=yes >> ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager
}}}

or add it to the compiz white list, and clear the blacklist pci Ids variable *Recommended*

{{{
sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz
}}}
{{{
# Driver whitelist
WHITELIST="fglrx nvidia intel ati radeon i810"
}}}
{{{
# blacklist based on the pci ids 
# BLACKLIST_PCIIDS="$T"
BLACKLIST_PCIIDS=""
}}}
