Dual boot problems with Ubuntu
Hi all,
Zenwalk just came on my radar screen so I downloaded the .iso and attempted to install on a HDD that has Ubuntu on the first partition. I have second partition Fat32 for storage. I installed Zenwalk on a third partition I created as ext3. When Lilo installed I chose the option to install to the MBR. The install went well, but when I restarted my Fat32 space and Zenwalk were the only options. I want to be able to be able to dual boot either Ubuntu or Zenwalk. Any thoughts. I have uninstalled Zenwalk and Lilo and restored Ubuntu. I will await any instructions on how to setup dual boot properly. Another issue, while playing around with Zenwalk I attempted to install the ATi drivers (ATi Radeon x1400 Mobility) using the Wiki but no dice. They appeared to install ok but on reboot "fglrxinfo" show mesa. Looking forward to exploring this new OS. BTW, I have been an Ubuntu user for about a year now, so I am fairly comfortable with Linux and the CLI. See my sig for system details. Ubuntu works almost perfectly on my machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Now I need ATi drivers. Update: Just installed, have native resolution but still have mesa in "fglrxinfo". No hardware acceleration according to "glxinfo". |
Anybody? Please

Hi Frank, we have some long threads going on about this on the Zenwalk forum, please check http://support.zenwalk.org for threads about the ATi proprietary drivers ;).

That helped a lot. Between the instructions there, the will of the linux gods and my holding my mouth right I finally got ATi installed and full 3-D. |

I suspect the kernel update helped. |
