[ubuntu-uk] problem with Radeon driver and screen resolution

[David King]

I am having some problems with drivers for my graphics card. It is a 
Sapphire Radeon HD 7750, and I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 
12.04, updated online after installing.
When I install the proprietary drivers for it, and then reboot, I get a 
blank screen instead of the login screen.


I tried the following from the CLI:

apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* 
xorg-driver-fglrx

apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri 
xserver-xorg-core

mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup


This seems to get back to a basic graphics driver with limited resolutions.

Is there a way to get a driver installed that will give me a higher 
resolution, specifically 1900 x 1080?

[ubuntu-uk] USB Memory Stick Problem

[Nigel Verity]

Hi
I've been having trouble with a 32Mb USB memory stick. Whenever I copy large 
volumes of data in one go the job crashes with an "Error Splicing File" 
message. This occurs both with the stick formatted as ext4 and also as fat32. 
Since formatting it to ext3 as a last resort, so far the problem has not 
reappeared. Knowing next to nothing about the difference between ext3 and ext4 
I don't know if I may have found a genuine solution or whether this is just 
chance. My HDD is ext4, and I'm running 12.04.
Any ideas?
