Installing Binary Driver For ATI Radeon EAX300SE
Hi all,
i'm using Ubuntu 6.06, and i'm trying to install the binary driver for my video card ATI Radeon EAX300SE. i followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI. lspci also recognises the video card as it is: Code:
0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] Code:
sudo apt-get update Code:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf Code:
display: :0.0 screen: 0 Code:
display: :0.0 screen: 0 Any idea what i may have done wrongly? TIA and Regards, Edwin |
Go to the DRI link in my sig. It has an extensive ATI section in there.

What did you do to get it going?
Reason being, others will look at this thread for a solution, and it would be great if you told them exactly what you did... |
Ok, sure, dumb mistake actually, shouldn't have blindly followed instructions...
Firstly, as mentioned, i was following instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI. The key part is: Code:
sudo apt-get update Quote:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout" So i ended up with two "Screen's" with the identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]", and i guess the "ServerLayout" referred to the wrong one. In the end i referred to your xorg.conf, and found out what was wrong. Regards, Edwin |
Cool.
