Hi again, well - I have hoped and prayed that Intrepid would bring a solution to this bug but alas: the driver activation just fails a bit more graceful - but still it fails. During reboot after upgrade, an error msg appeared, stating 'Unsure what to do' regarding multible occurrences of flgrx [something]. But X started up nonetheless and everything appeared to work as before the upgrade, i.e. ATI driver doesn't work. Then the 'Hardware Drivers' icon appeared and I go there to activate - and hit the designated Activate button, which launches a 'Download and Install' dialog box...which hangs and causes an application crash.
I reboot and this time no error on boot - and I do the Activate Hardware Drivers thing... which apparently works: it downloads the driver and I'm all excitement. I turn on the visual effects under appearence and behold: It does not turn white on me, leaving me blindfolded - but it turns back to 'No visual effects'. Only thing changed afaik: Graceful fail! I attach my Xorg.0.log. ** Attachment added: "Xorg_0_log.bak" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19255406/Xorg_0_log.bak ** Also affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- fglrx - gutsy - ati: Black Screen with ATI RV535 [Radeon X1650 Series] [1002:71c7] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146515 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
