I have ubuntu 9.10
Hi I have the
ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series [1002:9598]video card.
I dont know what it is but i want to enable extra visual effects. unfortunally a message stating "searching for drivers" appears, eventuall folowed by " Visual Effects can not be enabled" i think this is due to the drivers obviosly.

Questions:
what are the drivers I need for linux (if any) for my specific video card?
what do I need to do?
step by step would be helpful
also which video card are best fit for ubuntu/ linux?

note: I dont know what it is, but originally when I first installed ubuntu I did something and the visual effects had worked had worked and up until recently i may or may not have of messed with any thing could i have of touched something

Go to Administration --> Hardware Drivers, and see if the driver for your video card is listed and enabled.
