Code:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
i also tried booting into the 2.6.24-16 rather then the 24-19 but still no change.
would removing the restricted drivers fix this? which was what i thought the above code did.
please let me know what to do.
Probably, try
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
Then reboot or restart X.
Once back in the GUI you can try using EnvyNG to install restricted drivers - http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
