How to Make Money with Ubuntu.

OK so I am in the recovory mode
at the shell I put back the xorg.conf but all is still scrwed up.

[FIONEX]

ok..do yourself a favour and check the xorg logs by going into safe mode, then choose ROOT from the menu.

Then do:

less /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

Whenever you see "(EE)", then that's your problem. Post what the "(EE)" says.

[HunterThomson]

shoot. I formated it alredy... If I do it agin would you know how to fix the errors? I think I try that updating the repos method this time.

Good thing I have a SSD makes all of this go real fast

[HunterThomson]

Ok installed agin.
I think I am doing the updating the repo then using the "hardware driver" gnome thing. I'll post the (EE)'s

[FIONEX]

always look at logs first "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" or "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old". Then act accordingly. The ati driver has problems with 9.04, there's no doubt about it. But it does work because it's working for me.

[HunterThomson]

Ok, and on second though I'll folow the wiki agin.

I forgot to do the two things you said.... Do I no edit the xorg.conf and just do thoughs two steps or add the one line to the xorg.conf and do your two steps at the end.

[FIONEX]

You edit xorg and add the Driver "fglrx". Then you do "sudo aticonfig --initial -f". Then you do "sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Post your xorg.conf after you do all that.

[HunterThomson]

OK will do. I'll post it before I reboot.

[FIONEX]

If you reboot and it doesn't work, then you dont have to reinstall to get linux working. Just go into Recovery Mode --> Root.


sudo apt-get remove fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx


Then restore xorg.conf by removing the Driver "fglrx" line.

[HunterThomson]

Ok here is the xorg.conf I have now. Pre-reboot.

What do you think. I'll wate to reboot utill you reply.
