Public bug reported: I have tried everything to fix this but none of the other bug reports have helped me so far so I thought that I would report all my problems with the ATI drivers
1. After installation Ubuntu fails to start and all I see is a couple of Ubuntu logos on my screen. 2. IF Ubuntu dosent fail to start (and that does not happen often) the resolution for my screen is set to 1024x768. This can sometimes be changed in the CatalystControlCenter for ATI but only sometimes. If successfully changed it holds untill i shut down or restart my computer. 3.Before installing any ATI drivers my screens (or screen, I'm only using one right now) is successfully recognised and the resolution can be changed and stays that way. After the install however i get nothing but trouble. 1. It says that i have two screens connected when i only have one. And it dosent recongnize my screen. 2. i'm using the secondary output on my ATI card (because the primary one is slightly broken.) My viewsonic supports up to 1680x1050 wide but now the highest resolution i can use for the secondary port is 1024x768. 4.I had the bug with the gnome-display-properties using 100% of the processor core but that got fixed when I used a patch from this site. Thank you for that. I'm running on a Intel C2D 1,8Ghz ATI 3870HD I apologize for bad english, repeating the same bug over and over, and that i lack the skill to explain my problems fully. //uni ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ati drivers gnome-dispay-properties resolution screen -- Several issues when instaling the proprietary drivers for my ATI card, or any other driver type. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
