Ubuntu 10.04 ATI Radeon Problem -Solved-
Posted: Sat May 22, 2010 6:12 am
Ok I spent over a week trying to get my ATI Radeon 9800 pro to work so I could run Uplink (this will work for alot of ATI cards) so here is how I solved it:
For these cards you must use the "fglrx" driver and this wont work:.
For all others this will fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch:
Then reboot (or fix up the kernel modules and restart gdm)
Hope it helps,

For these cards you must use the "fglrx" driver and this wont work:.
2D modesetting only
HD 3xxx / R600 based cards
HD 4xxx / R700 based cards
If you dont know how to tell what card you have type this: lspci -nn | grep VGA
For all others this will fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch:
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgThen reboot (or fix up the kernel modules and restart gdm)
Hope it helps,
