Hi Guys! I have a Radeon 4850 and when I run the driver install it tells me that "This driver is installed but not enabled"... How do I change that in 9.1? Thanks

Drivers are kernel modules. The installation/removal of a kernel module and a kernel upgrade are the two things in Linux that require a reboot to work.

The message "the driver is installed but not enabled" means that you haven't rebooted yet since installing it. If you reboot, it should be enabled.

I have rebooted several times and still the same message.

In gnome goto System>Admin>Hardware Drivers .. you will see how to enable it from there.
