Does anyone know of how to get fglrx working on a compaq presario x1000 (x1030us)? I get it all installed and when i use the driver the screen is blue and it spans 3/4 of the lcd. I have tried most of the tutorials i have seen on google searches non of them work.
The video card is a radeon mobility 9200 on a centrino machine.
Any help help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using Debian as stated in your signiture, install module-assistant. Open a shell and as su type m-a, you will need to select prepare, then you will need to select the fglrx-kernel, build the module, then install.
Before you do the above you should uninstall your current fglrx driver.
I used module assistant just recently it has be saying that i need the linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 but i already have them installed. Like i said i have tried just about every tutorial, They all seem incomplete in some sorts..
