I have a radeon 9800 pro card with 2 monitors attached to it and I'd like to get the big desktop to work and as i understand i need the fglrx drivers to do that.
The problem is that after installing the drivers (whether it be with envy or the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide) i get a blank screen with everything unresponsive where i should get the login screen (yes I've tried pressing ctrl+alt+Fx here but nothing happens). With the driver set to ati this problem does not occur.
I tried to search the forum and google for the solution but no luck.
Any ideas how to solve this? (other than buying an nvidia card ;P)
Edit: This might be caused because of the fact that i have 2 monitors connected but then again when that's what I'm trying to accomplish here.
Edit2: For some reason it started to work with manual install from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide (not working yet after this) then from recovery mode dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then again the manual install but without removing the fglrx that had already been installed.
Having a new problem with this now though: when using shutdown the system just hangs in a similar way that it did before when starting the computer. Will check the forums if there already is a solution for this problem.
