sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg So far, it looks like ubuntu 10.04 does not play nice with the graphics card identified in sysinfo as: ATI Xpress 200M 5955 (PCIE) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3091 I may just revert to 9.10 which worked perfectly. I found no problems at all with graphics over the 5 months I ran 9.10 on this HP Presario V2710US notebook. -- google earth does not render any zoom level with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M video graphics adaptor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574034 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
