[Ubuntu-BD] corrupted Ubuntu installation

[Slaven H]

Hi,

I have ATI Radeon Xpress X1200. It worked with the default installation of Ubuntu 10, but I had trouble with slower 3d graphics. 

For that reason I looked around online to see how to improve it. I found out that installing the fglrx module could work. Then I used Synaptic to change the driver to the new one but it didn't affect the problem I had at all. I tried installing the open source radeonhd driver and that didn't work either. So after that I uninstalled what I added, again through Synaptic, restarted and the PC wouldn't work. 

 

I know Linux does not have a safe mode like windows, but is there another way of fixing things so that I don't lose the files I already have?

 

Thanks,

 

Slaven
