Problem installing the ATI Proprietary Driver
I'm running Kubuntu 7.04. I opted to install the ATI Proprietary driver "the Ubuntu way" by downloading the fglrx file and going into xorg.conf and changing ati to fglrx and rebooting. Only problem, when I rebooted, all I get is a blinking cursor. Fortunately , I made a backup of the xorg.conf file before hand. How do I get back to the desktop from this blinking cursor?

Okay. Push ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal. Login with your username and password. Check your log files in /var/log
Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE To return your original configuration: Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf This should return your original configuration, and give you a desktop which you can work from. Reboot the computer with: Code:
shutdown now -h -r |
