Hello PPL.

ATI Video cards issues with Ultimate 2.7 please post here.

[Cyber_rader]

hello i run an ATI Raidion 3400 high def video card, i have run Ultimate Edition 2.5 and 2.6 and never seen this issue before, but anyways my issue is i get to the boot screen in 2.7 my screens flash some text about a usb device that is not working (web cam not turned on) after it flashes the text about the usb device, both screens go to power save mode and thats it (currently running off the cd in safe graphics mode) i'm just wondering if theres a fix for this or if i should boot into safe graphics mode and get my drivers for my video card first (if i don't boot into safe graphics mode first i cant get past this issue)

Thanks Cyber_rader

also i love Ultimate Edition! [#^(& Microsoft]

on another note, i have been using windows xp mostly for many years, i started working on ubuntu 9.04 last year and liked it more than windows, but i'm still rather new to Linux for the most part

I run the 4350 ATI card every time there is a Kernel Update there is a few problems with the video.Just do what you said run in low graphics mode install driver and see what happens .Or check the Ubuntu forums for something related or similiar to your problem.I spend a lot of time reading problems and fixes to get things working right.

Is there a way to enter a "safe mode" so that I can adjust my settings after I install the proprietary display drivers?

Hello jshuford

Try to go with this command:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Download the ATI Catalyst™ Display Driver

WOW!!! You are certainly on it!

I dl the driver from AMD and it works great...all but the Ultimate Edition 2.7 bootsplash~The bootslpash seems to run at a lower resolution than the desktop?

Thank you

You can change the resolution in your start up manager =>system=>Administration=>start up manager.
