Hi all, I have a Toshiba Satellite running Xubuntu 12.10 x86_64. Yesterday I went to install the fglrx package using APT (without realizing it was a bad idea), rebooted, and the X server didn't want to start up; here's the error log:
Code:
...
Loading extension GLX
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@0:1:1) found
SetVBEMode failed
Fatal server error:
no screens found
(EE)
Please consult The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
/var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://ompldr.org/vaDFnbw
So I then disabled the extension (by running "sudo jockey-text -d kmod:fglrx") and uninstalled it.
After asking on Ask Ubuntu, I was told to install fglrx manually, so I went ahead and tried to install it by following the instructions in this post, however during installation, the installer is unable to build the DKMS module. Here's logs:
Code:

Anyone know how I can fix this so I can install fglrx? Thanks!
