I have this problem with my Radeon 9600XT

I had this problem on an install of Ubuntu Natty and so far the only thing I
can confirm with repeatability is that 3D works when the S-video output is
'detected' and doesn't work when it isn't.

If I boot into Windows XP (dual boot) and enable the TV-Out on S-Video (even
without a TV plugged in) and then reboot into Ubuntu Natty I get a 2nd screen
on S-video showing up in the displays control panel and I get 3D acceleration
to work.


I installed a test copy of Ubuntu Oneiric onto a USB HDD and so far haven't had
issues with 3D.

HOWEVER: I recently did an upgrade to Oneiric inside the currently-installed
Natty and the 3D issue is still present, so perhaps that is from something
still there from the old installation?

Again, enabling S-video in Windows and rebooting is the only sure way to make
3D work.


Occasionally it will boot up and detect the S-video and enable 3D by itself but
this is not often.
