did that and restarted my system, got even worse, had to run in low graphic mode and can't use any other driver except the VESA generic driver, even after i changed back to fglrx and restarted, it kept changing back to VESA the weird thing is in the restricted driver manager, they wrote there the proprietary driver was in use and enabled gave up, try ubuntu when i change my rig next time, and have to make sure i dun buy ATI for my next system

Lol... sorry dude... But i do believe there shouldn't be a problem... hmmm... How about you try envy or another distro?

Instead, use sudo... Like the first step that Meng mentioned.

type:

sudo ...blablabla...
put in password (the password will appear blank when you are typing it)

no prob, not ur fault, i found that method u mentioned in another support site guess just my old 6-year old system's fault

i am totally new to linux.. and i am downloading ubuntu 7.1 coz i read
that this is the easiest version to start with..

juz wanna know..how to check my GC and soundcard compatible or not?

i am using dell inspiron 6400..
x1400 ati
and sigmatel audio card..

how? compatible or not?
really eager to make my desktop like leopard MacOS.

one more thing..does printer driver supported in linux?

i am using ip1600 canon..

tq

Any idea how update my GC? I'm using GeForce 8 8500GT.

i already downloaded it..
now what i need to do?
new ubuntu user here..

you still need to tell me what model is your card. which i don't know.

the big idea here, is to use your windows driver, to use on ubuntu.

i use aztech usb adapter..
model wl635usb.

use windows driver?
how?

which is why, i ask for a model, first, because, i do not guarantee that it works.
looks like it may not be supported, on linux.

need to take time, to check out how to install using ndiswrapper. which might not work at all.

the idea is to use, ndiswrapper, to run the windows driver, go check how to do that, with google.

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/...d,installation/

but i do not guarantee that it will work

Ubuntu is not the easiest distro out there... There are other easy ones like Mandriva and Mint...
