Just DL, burn and boot a U-8.10 Live CD and tell us how it works. > My idea was that maybe the PCI ID was not correctly registered in the > FG application and it was not only hindering a correct FG startup on ..this would be a PCI ID or an X issue, unless you have it working correctly on X in Ubuntu-6.06 and not in FG. > Ubuntu, but could *maybe* also explain the strange rendering issues I > have when running on Windows. ..you have ATI's Windows drivers for this card correctly set up? > As far as I know the Linux guys are > always quite verbose with sending messages to the console.
