<p><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI</a> is what I have used. Either just the "additonal drivers" gui or the command line. I have an nvidia card where setting the resolution was problematic for me, so I use a custom xorg.conf. I grabbed this config from a knoppix live cd running on the hardware in question and edited a few things. </p>
<p>Is the gui working for you to install the driver? If so, does it generate its own xorg.conf? Have you tried the xorg.conf you are troubleshooting with the vesa driver?<br>
