Radeon X1950 installation trouble
Note: I am a complete newbie in Linux in general
I tried to test drive Ubuntu from its CD. Could not get to the graphics interface.
I installed Ubuntu on a blank SATA HDD and reached the terminal.
on
startx
I got:
(EE) VESA (0): SET VBE MODE FAILED
Fatal Server error
AddScreen/
I invoked
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and reconfigured on ati
Invoked again startx and got
No matching device section for this instance
Tried with to configure xorg with vga and got a similar result.
I am trying to install the proprietary ATI catalyst driver. I downloaded ati-driver-
I read thru forums and installed the Dells Dynamic Kernel Module support framework by invoking
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper libstdc++5 dkms
Since I didn't see any error messages, I concluded it installed successfully.
what do I do next?
My configuration
M'board Asus M2N-E SLI
AMD 64FX62
2 GB RAM
Radeon X1950
Ubuntu installed on SATA2
Vista installed on SATA1
(switching thru BIOS)
Much appreciated,
Mike
