This is my bimonthly attempt # 122 to get proprietary ATI /AMD 6850m working.
Now 15 months trying with no success, except with open source default drivers.
I have posted over 20 posts here with a lot of help but still no functionality. Here is what I am trying on my second root partition with Raring installed.
Uninstall firstly the current AMD driver with these two commands:
∘ sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
∘ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
∘ andrikos 03/30/13 - trying AGAIN
‣ sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
‣ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrikos
‣ sudo apt-get update
‣ Update the fglrx and intel drivers:
• sudo apt-get install fglrx xserver-xorg-video-intel
‣ Don't forget to enable the fglrx driver
• sudo aticonfig --initial --force
and about to reboot - If like all other 100 attempts I expect it to on go to ttf1 (terminal type screen),
If it works I will DEFINITELY post it. But assume it won't and tired of wasting my time. Anyone with sympothy and any novel ideas out their? I would surely like to get this OLD problem fixed.
Cheers, Mark
p.s. Confirmed - it DID NOT work, back to tty1, and removing /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf and startx got me back in with no opengl functionality
any direct contact to
markackerman8@gmail.com would be much appreciated - getting sick of this, arghhh
