Installing Radeon 9200se drivers

amy

how do i install the drivers for this graphics card?
as i can't find a guide.
also i get this error come up sometimes which is something do do with an X config.

anyone?
i had a look at Envy but the download link dosn't work

I have the same question and exactly the same driver
I searched for 1 week and the only thing I found it's to install a package:

Code:
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx


oh kool

i keep getting this message about some X server thing then i can't fix it so now i have to do another install

PHP Code:
gksudonbsp;geditnbsp;/etc/X11/xorg.confnbsp;

The driver is under the device section and should look something like this

Section quot;Devicequot;
Identifierquot;Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controllerquot;
Driverquot;i810quot;
BusIDquotCI:0:2:0quot;

I am on my lapto which has intel graphics but your should say like ati or fglx
You may try the command in the terminal

PHP Code:
sudonbsp;dpkg-reconfigurenbsp;-phighnbsp;xserver-xorgnbsp;

also this will reconfigure xorg so you don't have to reinstall.
Hope this helps good luck!

ok so when it boot up and get to the X server thing i got through it and it gets to the terminal
i enter the stuff you gave me right? and then i can install the drivers

Hi yes if you reboot and you get the x error then get to command line then enter the second command

PHP Code:
sudonbsp;dpkg-reconfigurenbsp;-phighnbsp;xserver-xorgnbsp;
Then you can use the first command  when you are in the desktop via the terminal and see which driver you are using.

ok i did it and it came up with a menu and i selected ati
then i turned it off then turned it on again
now it works thanks man

ill post again in a min with my terminal results
