OK, I'm now on 10.10 and this issue appears to have been resolved ultimately. I believe the issue is that my graphics card probably never should have existed in our plane of reality. Even under Windows driver support for it was nigh nonexistent, so I suppose I should not have been so surprised by its absence in Linux as well. ASUS AH3650 SILENT/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card When this card came out pretty much everyone in their right mind had switched to motherboards with PCI Express slots. All of ATi/AMDs drivers for this range of chipsets presume a PCI Express installation. But someone at either ASUS or SAPPHIRE, possibly both as they each offer a version of this graphics card, came up with the brilliant idea of offering this as an AGP card for those such as myself who had aging hardware that just needed a good graphical kick in the pants. I was happy to grab it as a replacement for my old AIW Radeon 8500DV. But alas, it was never quite what I expected. So I've ordered new hardware and will be putting together a new system within the next week as my primary Ubuntu workstation. Once that's done this system will be relegated to file serving duty using FreeNAS or something instead. Ultimately fglrx doesn't like this graphics card and neither does anything else. It is truly a forgotten bastard child. -- package fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647270 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This seems to still be an issue for me... Perhaps there is something that, being an absolute newb, I am thoroughly overlooking. For that I sincerely apologize, but I would like just a bit of assistance if possible. After several attempts neither Synaptic Package Manager nor Update Manager will complete either an Installation or Removal of whichever version of fglrx is currently on my system. So I'm hoping there is a way to take care of this from the command line. According to Synaptic Package Manager the latest version of fglrx is '2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5 (lucid-updates)'. What should I type into Terminal to either Force or Fix the installation of that specific version of fglrx? Alternatively, how do I revert to whatever my most recent driver configuration that worked may have been (from about mid-July) instead? I'm thinking it might be something along the lines of 'sudo apt-get -f install [package name]' to accomplish the feat. Can anyone advise me as to whether it should be a full package I acquire in this manner, or individual components of it instead? Any help would be very much appreciated. What makes this so extra special super happy fun time is the fact that I can neither install or uninstall anything else because some script somewhere on my system is still trying to install the original 'new' fglrx that keeps failing. So this one update has destroyed my ability to update anything else at all. Even when it is marked to be left 'as is' within Synaptic Package Manager, the first thing that happens when I click Apply is that I get the now overly familiar error message that reads cryptically, 'E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1' ... Joy. I don't intend to give up on Ubuntu, but at this point it seems I may have to finally give up on AMD/ATi in favor of Intel/nVidia. That really would make for a sad day in terms of my personal sense of independence. Before I go out and buy new hardware though, I may instead simply reinstall Ubuntu from scratch, but I'd like to avoid that as well, assuming it is not absolutely necessary.

OK... I made a copy of the 'ati' folder that I found at /usr/share/ati and placed it in my own 'Documents' folder. Then I renamed the original folder: sudo mv ati ati_old Then the system allowed me to complete the installation of the current fglrx driver. I'll reboot and see what happens.
