Hi all. Kubuntu noob here, but no stranger to linux. I've been running some flavour of PCLOS or Mepis 100% for the past 3 years or so, and have used linux since Mandrake 7 was the hot ticket.
My card is a Radeon 9250 TI128, and the fglrx driver worked great in PCLOS before I decided to try the new Mepis RC3 ... which led me to my stack of Kubuntu cds when RC3 wouldn't give me proper access to my second hard drive.
I read numerous threads on these forums, and followed the directions in the wiki for installing fglrx through Adept. I still had video, but got a long page of errors when running fglrxinfo or glxgears from Konsole. I noticed that the wiki mentioned opengl being broken for R200 (below 9500) cards. Does this mean I'm SOL until a new ATi driver comes out and fixes the problem?
I'm going to get method 1 one more crack from the command line ... and if it all goes bad, I can always re-restore my old xorg.conf file.
