Hello,

first time user of Ubuntu and I was quite excited to get rid of the old windows...
I installed the 9.04 version and upgraded the Ati drivers.
Since I had no idea of how Ubuntu works I followed the automatic suggestions.
But the problem was that I couldn't set the optimal resolution 1680*1050 for my monitor...
I then tried to unistall the current drivers and reinstall them again.
That was clearly a mistake cause after the reboot I got a black screen and the mouse cursor was the only visible thing...

I have no idea what to do, I tried once again to reinstall ubuntu and got the same result.

Any solutions that might work??
I found a few possible ones but I have no idea on how to use commands cause I'm new to all this.

Thanks in advance!

Using the cd without installation works.
I mean I can see the desktop and everything but I don't upgrade the drivers cause I think it will go black again...
