in m$ I had to tell bios it was a 4xAGP, will I be able to tell bios it's 8xAGP as supported by both the mobo and agp? 9600xt had major problems w/ amd cpus and m$. I also still need to get my xorg.conf to support my 720p and dual output.
Any ways my first install of dapper the vid card was no problem, also my optical soundcard was not a problem.
2nd install gutsy the optical doesn't work, but agp does.
3rd install gutsy I had to physically remove the agp and use the onboard jsut to get the live cd to work, last night I decided to give it a go and put the agp back in. I had to redo the xorg.conf from cl, fortunately I had printed out the instructions.
[color=purple]So I found these two guides and wonder which is going to be best?
Instructions for Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
First make sure linux-restricted-modules-generic and restricted-manager-kde are both installed
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager-kdeOpen the restricted drivers manager from KMenu → System Settings → Advanced → Restricted Drivers and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver". This will hopefully enable fglrx in a painless way. If not, follow the instructions for Feisty.
or
Enable fgrlx driver.
Install linux-restricted-modules and restricted-manager provided in the restricted repositories:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-managerOpen the restricted drivers manager in "System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager" and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver".
