I want to install drivers for my ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card.
At first I followed the easy way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bi...8.04%20(Hardy). There are only 2 steps:
But it failed on second line with error:
“insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': -1 Operation not permitted”
So I wet to /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/volatile and called
The result was: “Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf”
Hmm, it looks like something is wrong with “the easy way”
OK. Then I head on with the harder way:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bi...nary%20drivers.
There are a lots of instructions and I followed them all. The driver was installed fine, there was only a single warning:
“Warning! Cannot do version sanity checking because multiple fglrx.ko
modules were found in kernel 2.6.24-19-generic.”. This is probably the result of the first step of the easy way. But I assume this should not cause major problems...
The driver works fine. But now logout/shutdown/reboot called from kmenu just hang my PC: black screen and keyboard is dead
On the other hand calling
in command line works fine. It looks like my X server is damaged or so.
Then I looked at system requirements of ATI driver
. ATI states the the driver requires following libs:
XFree86-Mesa-libGL
libstdc++
libgcc
XFree86-libs
fontconfig
freetype
zlib
I installed all of them but XFree86-Mesa-libGL and XFree86-libs. I just did not found them
Then I repeated the steps of the hard way once again. Unfortunately this did not helped, - my system still hangs after logout/shutdown/reboot called from kmenu
Any ideas?
Thanks
