oh and btw. it's not that i do not want to post the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. i do not have the original installed file that caused my x not to be able to start and not able to perform a graphical install.<br><br>so what i did was as follows to install the ati proprietary driver.
<br><br>run livecd and when x cannot start, it will throw me into the command line. i then did the following commands.<br><pre>sudo apt-get update <br>sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx<br>sudo depmod -a<br>sudo aticonfig --initial
<br>sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv<br></pre>these steps will install the ati driver and the last 2 commands will modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.<br><br>after all these. then i did a startx and managed to get into the x desktop and perform a graphical install mod.
<br><br>after installation and the livecd removed and i did a reboot, x could not start up again as the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file was changed back to the generic one. so i did the above steps again and everything was fine after that.
<br><br>i am using ati mobility radeon x1300 on a hp nc6400 laptop.<br><br>the curious thing is that the generic /etc/X11/xorg.conf file cannot work and the error message was that there were no screens found.<br><br>as for my wireless problem, i am still stumped and confused why it suddenly worked. i am going to figure this out and post it here once i find out.
<br><br>as of now, everything is working fine. hopefully.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/20/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Maung Myat Thu @ Billy Aung Myint</b> <<a href="mailto:billy@ubuntu.sg">billy@ubuntu.sg
