Thanks Corvar As you suggested, I installed the fglrx driver from the repository and ran aticonfig -- initial --force-monitor=crt1 The system rebooted fine, but for some reason the kernel module wasnt loading, however it didnt go back to low graphics mode. i then removed the repository packages and loaded the ati 8.476 drivers ( from the 8.4 ati driver installer ) On reboot the machine came up on the fglrx driver with 3D enabled. I am however unable to enable desktop effects.
Half way there methinks Many thank -- gutsy to hardy - all fglrx drivers fail-> low graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228573 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
