Hello,
I recently decided to upgrade my Feisty Fawn and since 9.04 does not support my graphics card, I ended up installing 8.04 LTS. I was never very good when it came to using Linux and usually had people I could ask to help me set things up. In any case, I use a Radeon 9200 graphics card, K8 Triton Motherboard and an AMD 64 athlon Processor.
When I boot Ubuntu, I need to go to recovery mode and hit xfix followed by resume since GDM does not load with a regular start-up. My CPU is clocking at 99% all of the time and there is nothing listed when I go to System -> Administration ->Hardware Drivers.
Please help me get thhis working properly (have done sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati and anything else I could find when searching the forums)
