to those who these new files havent worked for just a same tip. i have to uncheck the box under the restriceted manager. reboot. then use synaptic to remove the restricted modules (including common). remove fglrx control. fglrx kernel source. (cant remember if the fglrx driver and dev files was still there or not but id remove them too) using the complete removal option. reboot again. then install all the files/modules (fglrx control ,fglrx kernel source, linux restricted modules including common, xorg driver fglrx as well as dev). at least this is how i had to do it. also be sure you get the modules for your specific kernel (although im sure you already knew that). after all files are installed make sure the box is ticked under the restricted manager and reboot one final time. also as a side note while installing these files you will get a warning that another version is available in the software channel. be sure to ignore this warning and continue the install anyway (software channel versions are the old ones). hope this helps those that have yet to get the new drivers working. i have radeon xpress 200 graphics and they work great for me.
jeff vehrs: im almost certain that you problem is due to an old driver. those are the exact same problems i had befpre updating. however these modules are not build for a dapper environment. you could try getting the new kernel from the fiesty repos and give it a go (you will still need to get the models from the link given farther up). however as im rather new to ubuntu and linux in general im not sure if using a fiesty kernel on dapper would break anything or not. -- log out or switch user results in crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107115 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
