ATI Radeon Mobility X1400....help (10.04)

[Kaneda187]

Just installed the new ubuntu 10.04 and I'm loving everything...... except I cant seem to get my graphics card to work!

~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400

I tried the drivers from the repos and then I downloaded the one from the ATI site this is what i got

kaneda@kaneda-laptop:~$ cd /home/kaneda/Desktop
kaneda@kaneda-laptop:~/Desktop$ chmod +x ati.run
kaneda@kaneda-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo ./ati.run
[sudo] password for kaneda:

Any ideas guys?

Anybody?

You can't use any of the fglrx drivers -- no matter where you get them from. ATI dropped fglrx support for this card over a year ago.

The only drivers that will work with this card and recent Ubuntu versions are the open source drivers -- and those are installed by default.

You can try to download

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...pe=Linux%20x86

and then install the drivers for package Ubuntu
check --help when installing ...

[Kaneda187]

So will my card ever have support?

[SirMariusz]

Try this driver! I also have this card and it works fine

Tell us if this works because I have this weird wiggling screen problem which i think this may fix BUT just 20 minutes, my wireless in ubu stopped working FSM.
