The 8.593 driver you're using is the last one that works on R5xx-based cards, such as your X1600. However, that driver doesn't support any Ubuntu version newer than Ubuntu 8.10.
On Ubuntu 10.04 your only choice for a graphics driver is the open- source Radeon driver that ships with Ubuntu. That driver should give you desktop effects. It may not work very will with games though. I recommend you uninstall fglrx. Having fglrx installed breaks the Radeon driver. Hope this helps ... -- package fglrx-kernel-source 2:8.593-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: fglrx kernel module failed to build https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/623544 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
