Does this mean that you uninstalled GLcore, glx and int10?
If not, what does unload mean?

Do you have your screen running at native resolution? (1280 X 800, right?)

Do you have 3D acceleration with the fglrx driver?

The download I tried from ATI had an Ubuntu option but I couldn't get it to
work.
I am still at a beginner level but would like to have my HP ZV6270US display
working properly.

Are you using the AMD 64bit kernel?

Thanks,
Bradley
