I didn't want to hijack any of the various threads regarding Ati's vid cards and driver setup, so I'm starting this thread to see what kind of options are available to ATI 4770/Jaunty owners who are trying to get it working.
Here's how I see it after reading as many threads as possible:
- It seems the open source drivers in Jaunty, both the stable release drivers (ati) and RadeonHD, don't fully support this new card yet. Would upgrading the kernel, xorg, or anything else help with this? If so, any links on how to attempt any of those?
- Catalyst 9.5 doesn't seem to work well with Jaunty's kernel. I've read that you can patch it so it does, any good how-to's for the experimental types?
It also appears that these fixes are mutually exclusive since you'll need to upgrade to get open-source working, but patch (or downgrade) to get closed source working.
Am I missing anything or am I just exposing my complete newbness on this matter.
