Hi.
I am having some problems. First off, I tried to install i386 version and got both the X700 ati to work as well as the broadcom card wifi stuff.
Then I did some experiments to torture linux a little and killed it off. So, I decided to go for a try on kubuntu amd64 install disk and did just that, fixed the monitor problem and all. So , when I went on to get the ndiswrapper working and the ati drivers as well , I hit two problems.
The inf and sys files for the 64bit version are different, as well as the ato drivers for 64 bit. I tried all the wiki info I found and managed to install ndiswrapper and it does not seem to have really installed itself and when I installed the ati drivers in the order I was told by Wiki then the whole screensaver library tells me it has been orphaned and will not work.
I have since been looking for a way to properly uninstall these ati drivers and regain my screensaver library and also to get this ndiswrapper working properly on my wifi. The reason for this is, I just love this kubuntu stuff and I hope I NEVER will have to look at another windows XP desktop again.
One more thing, when I cat my cpu, I get this info:
siggi@ferrari:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

My Acer is a true 2.0Ghz laptop so I am blundering why it did run on 2.0 ghz in i386 kubuntu but wont go further than 800Mhz with this native 64 bit kubuntu?? Is there a way to adjust this ?? With a screwdriver and hammer maybe ??
PLease, anyone out there who can help
