Hello

I'm switching over from FC4 to Ubuntu really just to try something new...I've got everything running great with the exception of video. I have an ati radeon 9550 which ran great in fedora. I can't get it to recognize the second monitor (dual head card) in Ubuntu.

I downloaded the driver installer from ati's website and ran the program

ati-driver-installer-8.18.8-i386.run

This installs the control panel and supposedly installs the drivers.

When I go to run fglxrconfig to finish config...I'm told bad command, it's nowhere to be found.

Little help please :-)

Thanks in advance

mate, its fglrxconfig. is that what you tried ?

hope that works, BTW, how did you get ur ATI working in FC4 ? ive been trying for over a month now with no success. Ive got FC4 with a 9600Pro.

Sorry, I spelled that wrong...I wish it was that simple :-) I tried fglrxconfig in terminal and I'm told it's a bad command.

I setup FC4 a while ago...I wish I had a step by step list for you. But I really don't remember, I'll try to go in and take a look at it and see.

Did you edit xorg.conf? You will need to change the "ati" to "fglrx" in the device section.

What does:


...give you?

Comon man, you're in a debian based world now. Just follow the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI

search for "fglrx" in synaptic; install the driver and control panel. run "fglrxconfig" as root and restart, and you're set
