    FGLRX trouble with 13.04 and Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250

    Hi,

    I have a laptop where lshw identifies the graphics card as Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250.

    FGLRX is not supported anymore, as far as I understand. I downgraded Xorg and installed the fglrx legacy drivers using the makson96/fglrx ppa.

    Anyway, that didn't work; X complains about "no screens found".

    I _think_ I need fglrx support, because without it, neither the displayport or the vga external output seems to work - only the laptop monitor works.

    So my question is two-fold:

    a) Is it possible to make fglrx work?

    b) Is it possible to get the displayport and vga output working without the fglrx drivers?

    Try:
    Code:
    sudo amdconfig --initial -f

    Forgot to say I tried that... Although I did it from the rescue console - perhaps I should've done it from within Xorg before rebooting...?

    I could be wrong, but this sounds like the /home/<user>/.Xauthority issue. Deleting the .Xauthority file would allow it be regenerated.

    I have no such file. And it shouldn't be relevant either, as X never comes up (never reach the login screen).

    Xfce, no compiz. How is this relevant?

    Theme can impact with LibreOffice in Xubuntu, did you try to put the official one Greybird?

    Btw did you install last fglrx driver? See my guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139200
