    "Activate additional driver" doesn't 'take'

    After Natty upgrade, can't get second monitor to work (HDMI) - so am trying to activate the proprietary ATI/AMD driver (which shows as not activated, though I did have it activated and running OK before the Natty upgrade). But when I click the button in the (KDE) Additional Drivers applet to activate it, it asks for my password, then flashes a quick dialog box, then it's still not activated - reboot - still not activated.

    EDIT: OIC - Natty doesn't add Natty repos. You have to manually add them in synaptics (it doesn't tell you it can't find the repos) - then press the "Reload" button - then the Additional Drivers thingie can find them.
Working...
