My PC hung at a blank or black screen after updating with 'Update Manager'-
So booting into 'safe-mode' and re-installing the ATI Driver did resolve the screen issue... but then I found other things that didn't work, that did before updating...so I decided to just re-install 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)-
After re-installing 10.04 (and ATI), the same issues appeared, leading me to conclude that updating via 'Update Manager' breaks linux on my pc-
I think I fixed everything, but even though ATI looks like it's installed and seems to be working, 'Hardware Drivers' reports that 'NO proprietory drivers are in use in this system'-
I checked 'FGLRX' in Terminal, and got:
pc@PC1:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.3.11251 Compatibility Profile Context
ATI Catalyst information reports 'Catalyst Version' is 11.11-
I can configure 'Extra' Visual Effects in 'Appearance Preferences' successfully-
Question: Is 'Hardware Drivers' in error reporting that 'NO proprietory drivers are in use in this system', or is there something else that needs to be checked, installed, or configured? Thanks-
