Some research shows that your card is compatible with the radeonhd driver. So here's how we're going to try and install it. I will first have you enable the fallback "vesa" video driver. Reboot again into the recovery mode kernel and run (with the capital X in X11)
Code:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Scroll down to where it says
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
and add a new line to make it look like this
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Do CTRL+X to get out, press Y and Enter to save and get out, then reboot
You should now be able to log into the GUI after a normal reboot, though the graphics may look terrible. Open a terminal and run
Code:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
Now open xorg.conf for editing again
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
At the bottom add
Code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Off"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "Off"
EndSection
and change the "vesa" in the file to "radeonhd"
Save and close. Now to CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X. Hopefully this should get you a decent setup.
