    Unhappy FGLRX in 10.10?

    I'm running 10.10, and FGLRX won't install because it doesn't recognize my Ubuntu version. I have tried installing it from "Hardware Drivers" and I've tried the version from ATi's web site. Is there a way that I can force it to install or something?
    Computer: A system restart is required.

    Me: I'LL SHOW YOU A RESTART!!! *unplugs computer*

    No. Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) is still in alpha (will not be be released until October), and it's kernel and x server is newer than what ati's driver supports.
    The last couple of ubuntu releases ati have provided support by releasing a beta version of their driver to the ubuntu developers late in the development cycle. So be patient. It will probably come in September or beginning of October...

    And: This is not a "general support" question. Questions about Maverick belongs in the Maverick development testing forum.

    I wouldn't install them until they are officially released. I just tried yesterday and ended up having to reinstall my whole system!

    yep. doesnt work. i would suggest the free drivers, in my experience they work well for computing and in some cases better then fglrx(like youtube flash videos), sadly not for wine and some opengl gaming. ;(
