ATI and Ubuntu will it ever work?
 

Hello,

I have an ATI radeon, specifically a 9200 SE.
Hasent worked with ubuntu (dapper i386 6.06 LTS) since I got it.
And now my friends are mocking linux because of it, can anyone help me (and linux) to get some respect?

Ok, so it wasnt that hard...
 

All right, appears to be a library problem heres the link with a good description of the solution that worked for me...
Looks like the new drivers don't work with the r200 cards (this doesnt mean much to me as a newbie)
but you can download this file:
Actaully, you need to 'save link as' and put it on your desktop:

http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2

and then move it like this:

sudo mv /home/username/Desktop/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/
