driver

[Fittersman]

easy ubuntu tells me that im to select "fglrx" driver instead of the ati driver but when the time comes to select it "fglrx" is not listed, currently im using the vesa driver so i can at least have the graphical interface but im told that it doensnt have 3D acceleration and other stuff like it should.

Did you install "xorg-driver-fglrx"?

[Fittersman]

i dont think so how do i do that?

Go to a console, and type this command:

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

...or you can use synaptic!

[Fittersman]

i think i might need internet access for that (internet for ubuntu) because it gives me an error like the following

W: Couldn't stat source package list (website here) (it gave 15 of these)
E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx (one of these at end)

so do i need internet to use that command?

Otherwise you could insert the ubuntu install-cd, and run the command again...

Make sure the cdrom-line in /etc/apt/sources.list is not commented:

deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)]/ breezy main restricted


...That's my cdrom-line (please don't copy - It will not work unless it's the exact same cd!)

i uncommented the cd line and when i go to add applications and try to add audicy or something it works for 5 of 11 packages and gives me an error same as before but at the end it has two new lines (my cd line like the one you posted) please useapt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT.apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
where do i get this apt-cdrom?

[sudokubuntu]

you can do it in synaptic edit->add cd-rom

[Fittersman]

i added the cdrom but it doesnt help me to add the fglrx driver
