Public bug reported:
this problem started on ubuntu edgy, continued with feisty, and now it
taggs along to gutsy gibbon.
from some reason any ati card (at least i know on my own expirience that it
happens on ati mobility radeon x1400) just won't work, period.
doesn't matter if you install it in any resolution, regular mode, safe graphics
mode.
in any situation it just crashes in the middle of the instalation and
tells you that it couln't install your graphics card.
from my experience with dapper and feisty this problem could be solved
by installing from the alternative disc, and then installing the fglrx
drivers manualy in command line.(cause forget about an out of the box
working graphic gui!!!!)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
what i did on feisty to make it work was the following things:
first i enabled restricted repositories
then i edited xorg.conf
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and aded the following lines:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
then i continued with the following code lines:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) # (Okay if it is
already installed)
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo depmod -a
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
sudo shutdown -r now
------------------------------------------------
i really think that this problem should be fixed automatically on the
installation proccess. i mean, i'm no programer, and if i managed to
solve it my self, i imagine its no biggie to solve it automaticly by the
installation proccess or the live CD
