Envy Release Notes
• Desktop Effects with NVIDIA cards
∘ Try to enable the Desktop effects, let Restricted Drivers Manager install the driver again, then (don’t reboot) use Envy again and finally reboot.
• The ATI module couldn’t be loaded at times.
∘ usually a depmod -ae solved the problem but I’ve tried to fix the problem.
∘ I even managed to get the driver to work on Gutsy’s livecd (I had to log out and log in after the installation of the driver instead of rebooting, which I couldn’t do, but I warmly recommend you to reboot). The desktop effects worked also on the livecd (they were a bit slow though).
• The new ATI driver is available in Envy
• NVIDIA’s new BETA driver is not included in this release.
∘ I might release an unstable version of Envy for this. Later…
• Envy no longer depends on “nvidia-xconfig” to set up your xorg.conf
∘ Envy has its own Xorg parser now.
• The list of ATI/AMD cards has been updated
∘ Radeon HD cards should be automatically detected.
• You can either use Envy or Restricted Drivers Manager. Please don’t use them together.
∘ Should you decide to use Restricted Drivers Manager after using Envy you will have to undo what Envy did, by typing:
∘ sudo envy –uninstall-all
P.S. I’ll set up the repositories as soon as I have the time. In the meantime you can get Envy here.
