I have installed kubuntu 12.10 on my new laptop, which has a Ati Radeon 7730.
I was following this guide to get the propritory graphics drivers working
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...e#Command_line
I did this:
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
Then this:
sudo amdconfig --initial -f
However that seemed to brake everything, and I only got a command line interface on reboot.
So i reinstalled Kubuntu, and used the minimal config for the xorg.conf file
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI radeon 7730"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
I tried forcing xorg to use the new xorg.conf file:
sudo amdconfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1
But it gave an error message
I decided to test whether the driver was working with
fglrxinfo
It isen't working. Not sure what else I can do, can anyone help?
Edit: One further question, If i mess everything up and get a command line interface again, is there a command I can use to delete the xorg.conf file, and avoid reinstalling everything again?
