I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 fresh. My graphics card is the HD Radeon 6850 (Sapphire).
When I rebooted after updating everything I would be stuck at a black screen. I instead went into the root console and changed my xorg.conf file to do "vesa" instead of "fglrx". It now boots no problem.
However when I do "aticonfig" I get:
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
And if I try to load the "Catalyst Control Center" it tells me:
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
After the default didn't work, I tried to get the drivers from ATI/AMD.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
I ran this, it had no errors. I rebooted, nothing was different. I used the "Additional Drivers" application, and it showed me that I needed to "Activate" my ATI driver again. I guess this changes the xorg.conf file, because when I rebooted after activating, I had the same problem as before with the blank screen. I changed it back to "vesa" and that's where I am now.
Does anyone know what I can do to get the drivers working, or can I even get working drivers for the 6850?
