View 12 RepliesI have KDE in openSUSE 11.3 64 bit and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series video card
and these drivers:
Driver: "radeon"
Driver Modules: "drm"
XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeonhd
I suspect it's caught in low res colour. How do I find what resolution color I'm running, and how do I adjust it if it is low?
I think to change my video card.But i was asking myself, it is not good idea first to install the driver and then change the video card?What is your opinion

Dont know how to explain this properly but in some forums on the net, no matter what text colour i change its always very light in colour. How can I change this so that the text is black as in when typing here for eg? its not the actual setting of the forum as I have looked through it thoroughly.

Now every time I boot Win XP, the Internet Explorer menu bar is all blacked out and goofy. If I log out and back in it corrects itself. If I reboot it's blacked out again. Re-installed IE8. Still blacks out.Also Firefox in Win XP crashes expectantly. It has NEVER crashed on me previously.
I used commands below to install the driver,but when i executed the last command,it always outputted "no adapter detected",why? video cards ATI HD5650 was indeed insert correctly.Then i restart.unfortunately,i can't come into system.the screen was always flickering.I can't do anything but reinstall Ubuntu.Who can tell me why? thanks (my Ubuntu was installed in VMware workstation)here is commands i used:1.sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4
2.sh *.run --buildpkg
3.sudo dpkg -i *.deb
4.sudo apt-get -f install
5.sudo aticonfig --initial -f
I'm a freshman of Ubuntu OS.I want to know where to download the video card's driver of ATI HD5650 and how to install it in a way as easy as possible

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I take out the existing video card and put in another one of a different type (but not a different brand), how does Ubuntu behave? I know what Windows typically does. Windows starts up the screen using a default video driver which is at least 1024 by 768 and then asks you what this new bit of hardware is and asks where the drivers are. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has default drivers of its own, but I don't know what their resolution is.

All I want this machine to do is play video from off the net on my LCD HD TV. The video on board was all choppy when going into full screen mode so I put in a 3dfx Voodoo card and the same thing happens. I cannot figure out how to install the drivers for this card in ubuntu so I was wondering if I should by a new video card. Do you have a recomended video card for ubuntu that would push HD video?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently had a new Video Card installed in my Ubuntu machine. (the old card failed)...
SYSTEM >> ADMIN >> HARDWARE DRIVERS - says my video card is active / running.
- The Installation guy - Didn't install the drivers (the CD was for a WINDOWS machine)
1) The driver may be installed & running - However - How do I know / test that it is the *RIGHT* driver for the new video card installed ?
2) How do i tell / find out the brand name of the physical card ?
(the CD disk says SAPPHIRE / ATI Radeon)
I am making a switch over to Ubuntu from windows on one of my kids machines.It has a Nvidia video card, a g-force fx 440 i believe, or something like that.Anyway I just loaded up Ubuntu 10.10 and and it seems it does not recognize my video card. If i go tosystem>administration>Additional drivers, the dialog comes back with "No proprietary drivers are used on this system. Ok so now I go to Ubuntu Software center and search nvidia..... I get the option to installl Nvidia binary x.org driver (version 185), I do so
Now in the Additional drivers dialogue it tells me "this driver is active and currently in use". Awsome, Now when I click on Nvidia X Server settings under system>Administration I get the following dialogue."You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."If i do what that last message said, run sudo nvidia-xconfig in the terminal, It gives an error saying the xconfig file is not there, and it will create one. The next time I reboot Ubunut just shows a black dos like screen asking for username and password. If i put it in, it does nothing, I end up having to re-install ubuntu.
There is running gOS on my computer (Ubuntu baset OS) and I want to install the Video Card driver for ATI RADEON 9250.
Ifound the driver in the official site =>> http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...n-prer200.html
And I also saw the instructions of installation =>> [url]
But I cant instal the driver. When I write the comand sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run (of course the file is in the home directory)the terminal window writes:
PHP Code:
And then written in the instruction: The ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Setup dialog box is displayed but no window or dialog box is displayd.
I have lubuntu 10.04 beta1 and the screen depth is really low (don't know the exact)? I used to go to xorg.conf but it doesn't have one and I am completely lost. How do I do this?

I just purchased an Acer Aspire V5-123 notebook with AMD processor and graphic and installed Debian 7.6 (stable) on it. first of all, I had to install a newer (3.14.0.bpo.1-amd64) kernel image to get the ethernet card working. Then, I got problem with Xorg not starting.
Here is the error lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Code: Select all(EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x0 out of range
...
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
and this is the output by issuing lspci:
Code: Select alllspci -nn | grep VGA:
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device [1002:9834]
I installed the libgl1-mesa-dri, xserver-xorg-video-ati, and firmware-linux-nonfree packages, as suggested by AtiHowTo from Debian Wiki, but the problem still persists and the last one (firmware-linux-nonfree) actually caused the notebook to freeze on boot. so, I removed it.
I have a video card. But I cannnot install nvidia driver because of some errors.
My video card's info is GeForce GTX760 1.5GB GDDR5.
Code: Select all$nvidia-detect

Uh oh. Your card is not supported by any driver version up to 304.125.
A newer driver may add support for your card.
Newer driver releases may be available in backports.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am try to install the nvidia 96.43.16 driver for a Gforce 2 MX-400 video card following this [URL].. When I ran the 'rpm -e --nodeps xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL' command the the package wasn't installed.
When I ran modprobe nvidia it wasn't found either.
Being a newbe I had no idea what to do next.
I am running Karmic Koala on a Dell Precision M90, and have some problems with my color depth, or at least that's what I believe. I have googled this problem numerous times, reading a lot about /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and have created numerous files in that location, with all manners of (probably) valid contents. I have yet to try invalid contents, in the hope that Linux is reading the file, and doing so would crash the system. This is my current xorg.conf, after many iterations:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
[code]....
Now, is there some other place to change this? Should I sacrifice more virgins to Cthulhu, or is Hastur the one to ask in these situations?
since I don't have a xorg.conf anymore (just wasn't installed ) I wonder how to change the color depth to 32.
I'm using the standard xserver-xorg-video-radeon driver.
changed my video card from a Geforce 9500GT to a Geforce 210GT and the noveau driver won't let me boot into ubuntu so i can't get ubuntu to redetect my video card. how can i fix this?
