Thread: ATi Drivers Blank Screen
hi there,
i've got laptop use @ work (toshiba a200). i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on it, , works fine.
after installing, connected net, installed available updates, , ran smoothly.
after that, attempted use desktop effects (via compiz), , repeatedly failed. laptop has inbuilt ati 2400, figure should handle compiz.
jumped device manager, , allowed download , install latest ati drivers. after drivers installed, restarted computer, attempted boot ubuntu, , got nothing blank / black screen.
caps lock key flashing, , i've left 20 minutes, , still nothing.
second time has happened (decided test once again sure).
suggestions why happening, , can compiz working? don't mind re-installing ubuntu once again.
thanks.
compiz not problem. it's combination of drivers installed , xorg version in ubuntu 9.10.
ati dropped support latest hd 3x/4x/and 5x cards when updated drivers ubuntu 9.04 , newer.
while card might supported, results you're getting indicate more not.
can use link below remove ati drivers , install open source drivers. not prevent using compiz.
