And for anyone reading this, i've installed the new driver and though it is a great step forward, i'd stick with the xgl setup in gutsy. The new driver does eliminate the need for xgl, but its much slower, and not worth it. I eventually took it out, and reverted back to the old setup, trust me its dog slow, you dont want it just yet. Give these guys another 6 months and maybe well have a decent ati driver by then.Christopher Dancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491122337413060738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-23901638394459330372007-10-27T11:59:00.000-05:002007-10-27T11:59:00.000-05:00You can get it working by downgrading your kernel....You can get it working by downgrading your kernel.<BR/><BR/>I added the Feisty repository and loaded the older kernel and restricted modules. I then removed the Feisty repositories, rebooted and installed fglrx. It worked, but my wireless card was limited to 20 KB/s. I'm sure it would work with ndiswrapper, but I'm giving up for now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13262491581785689937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-91610944789689848122007-10-23T15:25:00.000-05:002007-10-23T15:25:00.000-05:00I'm hoping that the release of the 8.42 driver wil...I'm hoping that the release of the 8.42 driver will fix the suspend issue :)<BR/><BR/>Link: http://tinyurl.com/2yq9vcUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091208566718428379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-17348076657436421712007-10-22T03:45:00.000-05:002007-10-22T03:45:00.000-05:00Just thought I would update you readDead - I tried...Just thought I would update you readDead - I tried compiling a gutsy kernel with SLAB, so that suspend / Hibernate can work. The compile itslef was painless, lots of resources available. <BR/><BR/>1. Ofcourse, the Restricted Drivers manager doesnt work after the compile. But, for some reason, the Wireless driver still does. The fglrx ati driver does not work.<BR/>2. So I downloaded their driver from the web and installed it. Everything seems good initially - The first Hibernate actually worked.<BR/><BR/>But, I have since had an unstable system - Either hibernate / suspend or the resume has failed in every subsequent attempt. <BR/><BR/>So, back to a fresh install! Something else other than SLAB seems to affect this, atleast on the 1501.<BR/><BR/>GaniDisplaced Indianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145783411992078488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-75333837173726059192007-10-19T21:33:00.000-05:002007-10-19T21:33:00.000-05:00Hi,Have you tried dual monitor feature of 7.10 rel...Hi,<BR/>Have you tried dual monitor feature of 7.10 release version yet? It's not yet successful for me so far with my 1501 with Acer AL1916W monitor... it's keep screwing up with xorg.conf.<BR/>Other features (wifi and Codecs that you mentioned on beta version) works perfectly. <BR/>Oh, btw...you might want to mention about this in your blog. I didn't plug wired internet in first install so I got problem installing native wifi driver. But I install UBUNTU again with wired internet plugged... wifi driver install went smoothly.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>TynTynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863413252102389950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-20695244464268645242007-10-17T06:45:00.000-05:002007-10-17T06:45:00.000-05:00gani,1. java runtime enviroment 6 with plugin2. il...gani,<BR/><BR/>1. java runtime enviroment 6 with plugin<BR/><BR/>2. ill look into for you, but i believe soredDEADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-25281501706858911762007-10-17T03:28:00.000-05:002007-10-17T03:28:00.000-05:00Two questions for you:1.
