I have a problem with fglrx in hardy. I installed it (restricted driver) and the ATI-driver appeared perfectly with fglrxinfo. But, after installer the xserver-xgl, the driver automatically went back to the mesa-driver (according to fglrxinfo). Can this be fixed???<BR/>Best,<BR/>zasqzasqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03089989054157555554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-8459713651090675502008-04-19T10:32:00.000-05:002008-04-19T10:32:00.000-05:00Hey red, thankx for this howto is very nice. works here in my 1501 in colombia. but I have a trouble sometimes when I restart all programs make black and I didin't work with this blacks screans. thaks againarawanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18317309286105005033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-43279342759857906512008-04-03T10:14:00.000-05:002008-04-03T10:14:00.000-05:00It says something about a missing composite extension when I enable it on my 1501 in Gutsy.......Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04622971680948325308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-91337998741244872472008-03-11T14:12:00.000-05:002008-03-11T14:12:00.000-05:00Press Alt-F2 and type <BR/><BR/>"gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"<BR/><BR/>and un-comment the lines that say:<BR/><BR/>deb-src [ you should see web address ]<BR/>and the ones labeled:<BR/><BR/>deb [ and again a web address ]<BR/><BR/>Now, once you are done with that in the terminal type:<BR/><BR/>sudo apt-get update<BR/><BR/>And when you are done with that, contine with what you were doing before that did not work<BR/><BR/>I hope that This helps!<BR/><BR/>^_^<BR/><BR/>-- theparticle010Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05714041898521207126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-82532552203637293692008-03-05T08:42:00.000-06:002008-03-05T08:42:00.000-06:00It doesn't word for me ?!<BR/>When I open a terminal and type the command sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager, it sais could not find packet Xserver-xgl.<BR/><BR/>What should I do ?Joshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12638033882623882285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-70679169327560689792008-02-21T22:23:00.000-06:002008-02-21T22:23:00.000-06:00agreed, you rock<BR/>http://forum.notebookreview.com/member.php?u=120833Nathanielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02073334949813152030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-76565730107093400882008-01-30T16:45:00.000-06:002008-01-30T16:45:00.000-06:00If you're not connected to the internet when you run the ubuntu installer, it adds the repo's to /etc/apt/sources.list but comments them out - which I find a bit pointless, since if you're not connected you can't use them whether they're commented out or not. Anyway, once you are connected it's easy to fix the problem, either by going to System > Administration > Software sources and ticking lots of boxes, or opening up a terminal and typing "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", then deleting all the #'s from in front of the entries and saving the file. Once you've done that, you'll have to type "sudo apt-get update" into your terminal, then you should have access to all the Ubuntu repos.%20http://www.blogger.com/profile/04612636925266729915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-63060769308551413002008-01-20T16:42:00.000-06:002008-01-20T16:42:00.000-06:00I got the same response as Mitchell on Dec 28.
