I had this problem as well. After trying to install the driver, I uninstalled all the FGLRX components in gnome-terminal and tried using Hardware Drivers to install again. It worked (the driver appears as activated). I restarted and got the proper screen resolution, etc.
That said, I still can't get Compiz working, though that might be a separate issue. -- package xorg-driver-fglrx 2:8.543-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: EOF on stdin at conffile prompt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
