Just a tip to try if you have the possibility. Besides bad coding, skipped frames in the original recording, not the machine skipping frames, the video output has been stable, fluid and without artifacts. So, I changed the output to OpenGL, saved the Preferences, restarted just to be sure that was the output used. I suddenly realised, out of the blue, that VLC is set to default video output, meaning X11/XVideo, but the card is capable of using OpenGL. I use a Radeon 3450 HD myself, streaming video over Gigabit LAN on a 2.4GHz 2GB RAM media-PC. Just in case anyone else still has some video glitching after exhausting all other options.
#Ati hd 4250 driver install
Restart and your are good to go, also you can install Ccsm or Compiz config settings manager from the Ubuntu Software Center to make what TK Kocheran says, that makes a huge difference If later on you want to uninstall type this Sudo sh aticonfig -uninstall When the installatuion is complete type Sudo aticonfig -initial -f The idea is to get something like this Sudo sh 'path/to/your/n'
#Ati hd 4250 driver drivers
I've been using ubuntu as my main OS for some years with AMD Radeon, what I can tell you is that the open source drivers work pretty well but I still prefere the Propietary ones.įor installing the propietary drivers you have to make sure to uninstall and completely remove the open source ones (from system configurarion -> aditional drivers, uncheck them if active and then restart)Īnd just open the terminal and type Sudo shĭrag the downloaded (*.run) file and press enter (dragging a file to the terminal makes it easier to get the path of the file instead of type it manually) PS: I am using the Ubuntu 11.04/X64 whereas the one on my friend's laptop is the 32 bit version. I would like to know if there is anything else that I can try, because I really like Ubuntu and would like to have to login to windows only when I absolutely have to.
#Ati hd 4250 driver 1080p
1080p videos play just fine without the need for any proprietary drivers. My friend says that she hasn't had to login to Windows 7 once in the last three weeks. I also installed 11.04 on my friends laptop ( A dual core with Intel HD graphics and 2GB RAM), and it works like a dream. I downloaded the proprietary drivers but it seemed like they dragged down the performance even more. If you are a gamer or you encode video, being unable to update that driver will seriously affect your system, otherwise your resolution may be off slightly, but other than that, there would be little or no visible reduction in performance.
This is huge deal breaker for me, since I use my PC mostly for watching movies. Even standard definition videos are unwatchably choppy. Product: ATI Radeon HD 4250 Hardware Class: DISPLAY. The issue is that the video performance is absolutely horrible. ATI Radeon HD 4250 - Driver Download Vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (I was using the proprietary drivers)īut a month back I bought a new one (AMD X4 955BE/ 8 GB/ Radeon HD4250) and dual booted Win 7/ Ubuntu 11.04. It would occasionally freeze but other than that it was all good. I started with 10.10 on my old PC with an nVidia 7300GS graphics card. I saw my friend's PC running Ubuntu and tried it out of curiosity.
