Public bug reported:
I have an HD 4850 ATI video card ; with Hardy on 64 bit system I could manually
install proprietary driver 8.10 from ATI successfully ; I could not reiterate
the same process of installation on Intrepid with a different kernel after
upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid ; As the app "Proprietary Pilotes" included in
Ubuntu package failed to install anything for my video card (probably resulting
from upgrade process) I had to remove all fglrx* packages to at last retry
installing with the app "Proprietary Pilotes" this time with some success
(glxinfo confirms DRI rendering) but I am left with a few questions :
- when looking at window "Proprietary Pilotes" it says that an different
version of the pilote as described is installed ; never seen something like
this ! ; so what should I do to install correctly what is described ?
- when running Catalyst menu it says that I am running on1680 x 1050 @ 75 Hz
resolution whereas it is actually 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz
- when looking at the doc attached to package xorg-driver-fglrx installed it
does say that ATI 4800 series are supported by such driver package.
So to conclude it works somehow but apparently is not supposed the good
driver for all the reasons listed above.
I will keep trying to manually instally the ATI package as I have done on Hardy
and post messages if I at last succeed in dooing it.
Regards
