Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [ubuntu] Ubuntu 9.04 upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 and ATI cards fglrx problem

Ok, my display was broken after upgrade. It would run the bootloader, then come up with a scrambled screen.

I run an ATI HD 2400.

I booted into safe mode, into a terminal, and removed all the ati drivers with:

Code:

envyng -t

then following the instructions.
(apt-get remove fglrx* might do the trick if you have no envyng installed.)

Then I ran

Code:

apt-get install fglrx

and then

Code:

aticonfig --initial -f

worked great! Running with full effects again. Good luck.
