Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: restricted-manager
I did a fresh install on 7.10 (Gutsy) on a fresh Dell Optiplex 755. The
machine has an ATI chipset which is unidentified by it's PCI ID:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 94c1
(prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0d02
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
Memory at 80020000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at dc00 [size=256]
Expansion ROM at 80000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Although it works with the standard VESA driver it doesn't allow access
to multiple screens. Running the Restricted Drivers Manager to install
the proprietary drivers yields the message:
"Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
I succeeded in installing the drivers using the Envy install script
(http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) which identified the
chipset as needing the driver. The Catalyst Control Center identifies
the chipset as:
ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT
Obviously I'd like to run the open drivers but I don't think the
RadeonHD drivers are well detected. The basic radeon driver causes
screen corruption if run.
