ATI\AMT Graphics Driver


I've just installed Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 laptop and before installing it, I tried it out with the LiveCD and it worked when I tried it this way but it doesn't now.

My graphics driver isn't being downloaded off the internet when I use the Hardware Drivers window. When I click on Activate it opens a message box saying "Downloading and installing driver", stays on 0% for a couple seconds and then the message box goes.

What should I do about this?

Have you configured your interface to the net?

Yeah. I can use the internet, I done it everything in the same way as when I tested Ubuntu last night using the LiveCD,

Never mind. It's done it now, I left it alone for a little while and tried again.

Oh, sorry. I gave up clicking Activate to try downloading and installing the driver, let it go for about 30 minutes, tried again and it done its job.
