Graphicproblems since Ubuntu 10.04

[bridgman]

I'm looking at the installation instructions for 10.6 now (www.amd.com then navigate to Desktop Graphics drivers for Radeon HD5xxx Linux) and the instructions say :

/usr/bin/aticonfig for Xorg 7.x
/usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig for earlier versions of Xorg

[Kano]

The correct way is:

sudo -i
rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
aticonfig --initial --nobackup

I updated my script to write the BusID too. So it would not matter.

[muvo]

sudo /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial
/usr/bin/aticonfig: command not found

@kano:

I cannot do it the correct because aticonfig isn't found for any reason.

[bridgman]

Is it there when you look in the folder ?

[Kano]

@muvo

Then it is NOT installed!

[muvo]

No, it's not in the folder.

But the package manager says it's installed.

[Kano]

Well maybe you messed too much around with the ati-installer. If it is REALLY installed then switch to it:

sudo -i
update-alternatives --config gl_conf
update-initramfs -u
ldconfig
reboot

Ok, Ubuntu now uses the fglrx driver but the graphicproblems still exist.
