Cannot get into SL on any viewer..what am i doing wrong??

[kaliztar]

im really losing my mind over this..this forum rally is my last hope, here's my stroy.

Im currently running ubuntu 11.04 and installed a new graphics card (ATI radeon 9600). When the new card went in i logged into SL on phoenix Viewer 1102 and things were all laggy and not rezzing for a while. General perfomance was just lame..anyway i went to a Q&A session to see what could be done in terms of SL settings.

I was advised to reinstall phoenix so thats what i did, brought This page up after i extracte dthe files :

i have a high guess it is your graphics card is the problem, it is a pretty weak graphics card to use for sl doubt their is anything setting wise to fix it other then to buy a more upto date graphics card

Really? i was told by a few people that the graphics card was a pretty good one and could run SL with no problems

THe ATI RAdeon 9600 is a graphics card that was released in 2003, SL was still in closed beta at that time... Im sure those people told you about the Nvidia 9600 which is 2008-2009 i believe, double check to see if thats what card you have and not the ATI 9600

You'll see that your card will meet the minimum requirments, but you will more then likely not get and fancy graphics and a reliable amount of FPS (frames per second) which will make your experience very choppy and pretty slow to use
