i have amd hd radeon 6850. while in windows run, starcraft 2 example, in extreme of extreme graphical settings pretty easily. switched on ubuntu 11.10 because windows 7 starting fail on me.

have gotten ubuntu set , running smoothly on desktop. games have have video settings set lowest 20 frames per second. did reading, , if understand correctly, reason why have have lowest settings because have "vesa" video driver. not support 2d or 3d acceleration , nothing in gaming.

question how better mode other vesa? can driver allow card again perform designed?
