[Bug 284408] Re: r3xx Hardware does not work with fglrx

2008-11-01 Thread PatrickDickey
Like Thomas, I was concerned but I followed their instructions and disabled the driver. After restarting, I reactivated the driver that Ubunut offered me. Everything seems to be running alright. [ 21.015916] fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY'

2010-10-19 Thread PatrickDickey
I can confirm this on an upgrade of Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04 (it was originally a Kubuntu 10.04 installation, but I added the Ubuntu Desktop also). As far as I know, KMS is still running (as I'm not sure how to disable it), and I have essentially the same dmesg output as the submitter. My lspci

I wasn't able to attach both files to the original submission. Attached is the syslog file. Also, I have previously installed Kubuntu on this computer. This was a reinstallation. I may have chosen the wrong option for GRUB (I chose sda). ** Attachment added: syslog

I should add this information also. It only happened when I tried to install using the Live CD. I ended up getting Kubuntu 9.10 to install and GRUB to work by doing two things (not sure which actually fixed it though). 1. I selected Install Now from the boot menu (bypassing the Live CD

Will they be backporting the fix to 9.04? I have other issues that prevent me from upgrading to 9.10 on my laptop. The only time I use sudo is if I'm working with a file in a restricted folder (/etc or somewhere like that). If I'm not supposed to do this, then please explain how to edit a file

I noticed this whenever I started a virtual machine inside of VMWare Player. I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2194 laptop with a 32-bit processor and 1.5G RAM (running Kubuntu 10.04 32-bit). I'm not entirely sure if the issue is the same, but I posted a video of it on YouTube at
