I'd like to point out 1 thing...everyone here does this help on their own time, your posts have been read and responded to??right??? You have to realize that not everyone has the same equipment, so providing a solution isn't always that easy...People here have been trying to help you... a little gratitude for that would go a long way

you gave me ideas ?
i dont remember anyone giving me any stepts i'd take to fix the problem
your post was not an idea because it did not apply to my problem, but thanks for trying.

My problem was and still is "HDTV screen size miss recognized". I also asked how to force refresh rate and how to remove AMD watermark from the screen. I dont remember anyone gave me any ideas what to do about any of these issues.

Sorry its 1 AM and few days after first post and i still didnt get it fixed. If it was windows i'd fix it by now, but because nothing is obvious in linux it might take me years to learn, or just go and buy Nvidia card and hope that in the end all i needed to do is to buy another $1700 HDTV compatible with linux

I just downloaded clean ubuntu 9.10 and there was an option to install. I wonder why ultimate edition doesn't have that option ? Instead i get to load Live session which takes time (very long time)
But same problem with monitor, but in this case it was even worse. I was getting weird Errors saying something about hard drives and asking to cancel or ignore and i wasnt able to move windows with ALT Click and drag so i could see what am i clicking


I was also unable to find the right place for posting forum problem i came across when new theme was activated
styles/SF_Glacier/theme/images/smokey-blue-16.jpg making this forum lag like hell.
Forum runs fine from my personal computer, but on my server computer with 256 MB of video memory and only 190344 k available physical memory its a nightmare.
Every other page i visited to make sure its this one loaded just fine and smooth :)

I believe I suggested xrandr in one of your double post's.IT is a tool to force screen rates,and resolutions.As you already know ATI is behind in it's support for Linux....not linux's fault.Its ATI's. If you are just getting into Linux you would not know this...to let you know tho this has always been the case with ATI.Nvidia has been years ahead with support,and most Linux users probably use Nvidia.Another point with new linux users is that most do not now that Linux works on all hardware(just like any other os) out of the box,and will take consider amount of time to make it work( or not).Also with some hardware there is no support at all.Another rule of thumb is Linux will not work on brand new hardware.

If you decide to go with an Nvidia card please research on which will work (its common knowledge that new hardware might not work in Linux).Also right now Ubuntu is going through a transformation phase.What you are using is an os that is not based on an LTS (long term support).Hardy is a LTS,and I believe Ultimate Edition 1.7 is based off of Hardy.



Another fact is that I asked questions concerning what driver you are using,and have not responded.I would suggest you start fresh with a new install sense if you do have the wrong river it can be a real pain to get rid of it all,and will effect other drivers you install.

I just downloaded clean ubuntu 9.10 and there was an option to install. I wonder why ultimate edition doesn't have that option ?


You will have to ask Theemahn.He is the one who wrote Ultimate Edition as it is.

I was getting weird Errors


Tells others nothing.What were they exactly?

But same problem with monitor


It should be.When running from the live environment you are using a very generic gpu driver that woks on all hardware,but lacks any features.
