Re: Ubuntu Karmic driver for ATI mobility Radeon HD5470 I would suggest you to go with the Catalyst driver version which will be much better solution. There are some problems with catalyst 10.2 so instead go with catalyst 10.1. I used the catalyst driver 10.1 to fix my driver issues. Below are the steps that fixed the problem for me: - First and foremost step is to update the pciids the code for it is
- Click on the Link to download the Catalyst 10.1
Code: chmod +x ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run Code: sudo ./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run - If you don?t have the jockey installed then get it installed using the following code
Code: sudo apt-get install jockey-common. - Now type this will list your adapter. In my case the column said ?yorg:fglrx? it can be something different for you.
Code: sudo jockey-text -e xorg:fglrx once you do this restart the computer, still your hardware will not be supported. For this you need to create a file.
- Create a file and paste the following code in that file named as wm.sh:
Code: #!/bin/sh
DRIVER=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6
}'); do
echo found $x
sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
done - Now type chmod +x wm.sh followed by sudo ./wm.sh
Restart your computer and that it your display will be perfect. |
