Ubuntu 10.4 and ATI X1200

[necotheone]

Hello!

I installed the 10.4 but I can't use the Hardware aceleration...

I tried to install the privative drivers, but it show this error...

==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================

Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
default:v286_64:lib32::none:2.6.32-21-generic; make sure that the version is being
correctly set by --iscurrentdistro

installing the fglrx, when I execute fglrxinfo, it shows

"Fallo de segmentacion"

Do you know what is happening?

Thank you!

I have the same ATI card in my netbook I tried to install 10.04 and as the installation got further along the graphics got worse and worse. Everytime i went to a webpage with lots of pictures my screen just became a blocky mess of colours. I tried 64 bit 32 bit and netbook remix versions and they all did the same thing it must be this video card as 10.04 works fine on my desktop which has ATI 9550 card. I haven't had time to play with it yet. I will try different settings on the weekend hopefully.

You don't know any solution?

the only solution I have found so far is to install all fglrx packages in synaptic package manager and uninstall all other ati driver packages. once I restarted I didn't get all the blocky mess. I can only get 1024 X 768 resolution and still can't install the proprietary driver, I get the same results as you but at least I can see what I am doing for now

update:\

Removed fglrx packages and installed the following packages:


xserver-xorg-video-radeon
xserver-xorg-video-radeon-dbg
radeontool
xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd-dbg

I now get 1376 X 768 resolution but still no enhanced effects. I can live without compiz for now and I can see my screen clearly without any blocky areas

You're NOT going to get the fglrx driver working because ATI dropped support for this driver and your card over a year ago. The current drivers will not work with your card -- even though you can force an installation.

Your only recourse now is to remove the fglrx drivers and allow Ubuntu to install the default open source drivers.

It's the xserver-xorg-video-ati package that is causing my problem, this is also the package that enables enhanced desktop. This package was installed when installing 10.04, I have uninstalled it. I don't really need compiz on a netbook anyway I can always WOW people with it on my desktop which is easier for them to see.

I guess you won't be able to enable enhanced desktop either necotheone, unless someone comes up with a different driver at a later date.
