Falcon1986 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) I was recently able to successfully install Ubuntu 9.10 onto my desktop. This is the first version to work properly with it. Previous versions probably had problems with the ATI Radeon X800XL PCI-e graphics card. Unfortunately, I cannot select a screen resolution above 1024x768. My monitor can support a maximum of 1280x1024 within Windows XP and it would be great to have that in Ubuntu as well.The first thing I did upon booting into Ubuntu was to visit 'Hardware Drivers' to see if there were any driver suggestions. However, there were absolutely none available.Do you know of a guide out there that will walk me through the manual installation of the drivers? Or perhaps you know of another solution to the problem. I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Thanks.___________________ADDENDUMLinux kernel: 2.6.31-17OS: Ubuntu 9.10 (32-bit)$ lspci -nn | grep VGA01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc R430 [Radeon X800 XL] (PCIe) [1002:554d] Edited January 19, 2010 by Falcon1986 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
