erusfatum · May 24, 2006

i have a radeon 9550 graphic card and the ubuntu doesnt recognise it, does it needs drivers or something? where i can find them? and the resolution is 640*480

ati.com
I think they have drivers in .deb format for ubuntu now

no everthing is in .rpm format. I can't figure out how to install them.

erusfatum · May 24, 2006

i havent found anything in deb format at ati.com, can you help me?

klingens · May 24, 2006

there is only one driver there to download it seems with .run extension
Download that file, install your kernel headers for your kernel. "sudo chmod a+x <ati.run file>" and then ./<ati.run file>

And then pray the driver likes your Xorg version (ati is notorious for very bad linux drivers)

This URL tells you how to install the ATI drivers in Ubuntu

emm after doing "sudo chmod a+x <ati.run file>" and then ./<ati.run file>, i when i run aticonfig it says command not found, i cant select the disto i have when its installing because the resolution is too small and i cant see the ok button even if i move the window as up as it goes

what version of ubuntu are you running breezy or dapper ?

erusfatum · May 25, 2006

emmm how can i check? it says 5.10 on the cd

hibner · May 25, 2006

5.10 is Breezy Badger
6.06 is Dapper Drake

I think they hire a 3 year old to name these distros.

when i type "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" from the guide that unseenmenace gave me it says that it could not find xorg-driver-fglrx

klingens · May 25, 2006

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search fglrx

erusfatum · May 25, 2006

sudo apt-cache search fglrx

xserver-xorg-driver-ati - X.Org X server -- ATI driver
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386 - Non-free Linux 2.6.12 modules on 386

klingens · May 25, 2006

And now you install the driver

erusfatum · May 25, 2006

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx?

klingens · May 25, 2006

if you have to ask: man apt-get

erusfatum · May 25, 2006

i mean do i use the "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" command?

klingens · May 25, 2006

And I mean "man apt-get". If you never learn on your own, we will pre-chew commandlines for you to type in until you're 80. Neither us nor you will want that (I hope).

But it is a bit hard to just learn on your own... Asking for help here for what to type once is not a problem, asking the same question once a day, week or month on the other hand is a BIG problem. Chill Klingens, you'll live longer that way.

People here have told him "Type this, then type that, and then enter this on the commandline" for several days now and his questions show no sign of improving his knowledge over that time. Maybe it's time for him to type stuff in there on his own?

Looking up howtos himself and applying a little logic to what he reads is not esoteric Linux wizardry. It's common sense or logic.
