Hi
this is my second post on this subject first recived no responce after a clean install of 64bit AMD Dapper on a PC with an ATI all in wonder 9600xt video card, on booting all appears to go well but I just end up at a blank black screen. I can boot in recovery mode with no problems.
I have look in this forum and found the following:-
Start your computer in recovery mode (the second entry on the Grub menu). This will give you a black and white
full screen console. Enter your user name at the "login:" prompt, and then your password, if requested.
If the only thing requested is a password, just hit return. Then run the command
Code:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" when asked enter your password. choose the "vesa" driver for your video.
Unfortunatly that does not work as I am only offered to configure various chipsets ATI(all the settings are correct for the video card) both on manual and auto detect no vesa driver.

I found the following, but that leaves me with the following questions :-
Method 1
How do I enable restricted repository from a command prompt.
How can I edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf from a command prompt.
Method 2
How can I enable universe and multiverse repositories from a command prompt.
How can I download 64bit installer from a command prompt. I have already downloaded the 64bit installer with my working windows installation but I have no way to transfer it to
my Linux installation other than to use a USB memory stick which leaves me with the problem of
mounting it navigating to it, and running it from a command prompt.
My finnal question is would It be simpler to reinstall Breezy and update to Dapper or would I still end up with the same problem.
Please give me some assistance with this as I really dont want to be forced into running windoz blista (if its not broke dont microsoft it).
Regards John
