I have temporary fix. by either using a 8.04 version live cd (http://samaritan.ucmerced.edu/ubuntu-releases/cd/) or windows with ext2ifs.exe (http://www.fs-driver.org/) installed, place this driver ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run (here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html) and place it into the /home/(user login)/ directory.
at the grub prompt select recovery mode. Select root console, cd to "CD /home/(user Login) dir to list the file sh ./ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run. answer prompts. use automatic. upon completion. type aticonfig --initial after confirming dialog. exit and boot. Will have ati console running an proper graphic. BUT! Upon updates from ubuntu. Driver will be unabled. at least this time it boots up and says graphic in low mode boot into or try and fix. boot into system run console type sudo aticonfig --initial. Will reconfigure. reboot. hopefull no more update cause problems........ -- Display out of Range in Ubuntu, Kubuntu or Live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300816 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
