X1400 driver in Ubuntu Fiesty 7.04 ?

[propellen]

Hi,

Has anyone got this driver to work proper in Fiesty?



Thanks.

When you go through the setup it should ask your if you want to use restricted drivers for your graphics card. At least that's what happened to me.

Give this a shot...these steps work very well for me and my T60/x1400

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control
sudo depmod -a
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

edit xorg.conf
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add this at the very bottom

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

Reboot

Thanks mate.
I've already tried that. The resolution is looking more like a 1280x1024 than a 1400x1050..
I guess its ok to use. But things are looking much better in Windows XP expecially with the OmegaDrivers..

But again, thanks for replying.

Did you try this by any chance?

Also verify in your xorg.conf that you are using 1400x1050 and not 1280x1024

Good luck,
Scott
