That's because there are no X1900 ATI drivers that work with Ubuntu 9.04 or newer. If you force the install, you will corrupt your display and have to boot into a console to remove them and restore the open source drivers.

You should really learn how to search the forums before you try to install drivers. There are LOTS of posts about this problem.

What part of "there are no drivers ..." is unclear? The open source drivers provide some 3D acceleration, and will improve over time, but there is no published schedule of any anticipated updates.

If you want to complain to someone (and you have every right to do that), complain to AMD/ATI -- they're the ones that stopped work on Linux drivers for their so-called "legacy" cards.
