Using Ubuntu 6.10 XOrg & Nautilus
I've been trying to get the fglrx driver to take control over mesa for about 5 hours... I've come closest with this:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...r_both_Methods
also tried this process...
http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Ubuntu_A...%27s_installer
and this
http://wiki.serios.net/wiki/Ubuntu_A...on_through_APT
and this
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...ux-firegl.html
atleast, the ATI control panel will now come up...
I couldn't really care about which driver is used because I'm not a big laptop gamer (Dell XPS), but I would like to be able to use 1280x1024 atleast...
I've added fglrx to modules and tried every suggestion under the sun... compiling from source, installing using ATI's installer (that was about the least useful of any attempts) ... I'm going nuts!
I'm a Newb to linux, but I have a serious clue, I mean, really, in about 5 minutes I figured out how to use vi to recover from setting the wrong Device name in the xorg.conf file, so I'm not asking to have someone just give me the right answer and then do it for me... I want to know why this fails and how to fix it!
If you need something else added to the below listed file let me know... thx in advance,
D.
heres my xorg.conf:
