Really frustated...have to switch back

[pveith]

Congrats guys. I finally found a post where someone says they are leaving, and no one has said anything useless.



Good luck getting Ubuntu set up to run the way you want, Oscar!

Oh no! You just broke the record... (No pun intended here. Just a little bit of off-topic fun.)

(that was going through my mind but I posted anyway.)

[Oscar Pradilla]

well i've run te xve this is it...

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x6e00001,
root 0x87, subw 0x0, time 381485, (-228,286), root446,337),
state 0x0, keycode 73 (keysym 0xffc4, F7), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x6e00001,
root 0x87, subw 0x0, time 381565, (-228,286), root446,337),
state 0x0, keycode 73 (keysym 0xffc4, F7), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

But still the F5 - F6 doesn't work.

When i change the keyboard layout to macbook pro int this appear

Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
- a bug in libxklavier library
- a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
- X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
10400090

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

Thanks a lot...i don't want to switch back....

Well i found this solution for activating Keypad it was very good also activates the green leds of the keyboard, just enter

System>Administration>Synaptics Package Manager

then search for mouseemu and remove it, Apply

That's all....works fine

Now i still have the problem with the video output for an external monitor, i've downloaded and installed the ATI driver from (ati.com) nothing happend... need help on this...

Good God, Good Luck with the ATI. I sat for hours last night trying to get some drivers better than just plain fglrx. Problem is, the ati card I put in the machine (working on a friend's computer) is one I have been trying to get rid of for a while now! I ended up putting my good stand by eVGA Nvidia card in and getting the new Nvidia drivers running on it.

I hate ATI with Ubuntu, so help me Zog.

you should use the drivers in the repos instead of directly downloading from ATI unless there is some specific feature change that you need.

You can also try envy to install your video drivers.

[Oscar Pradilla]

Well i'm really happy, finally i made it, got video output, so i'm formating my macbook today...ubuntu native.....

i will post how i did it...so easy....

Thanks a lot...all

Ubuntu power, mac's are mostly top-secret, but linux can pwn them

[Oscar Pradilla]

It's really easy:

1. Install ATI propietary drivers recomended by ubuntu (Then restart)
2. FileSystem>usr>share>applications>
3. Open Screen and Graphics app
4. Select Screen 1 as default
5. On screen 2 select: Type of monitor (Normal video beam 1024X768) and type of output (Mirror default screen)
6. Test
7. If works, then OK (It's gonna change your screen resolution - so only use it when you are plugged to an external monitor)
8. To make it a little bit easier, make a launcher at desktop like this:
Type: Application / Name: Screen and Graphics / Command: gksu displayconfig-gtk
9. Enjoy...
