Thread: Problem with graphics

-

hey ppl forced post since cant ati mobility hd 4570 installed . using wubi ubuntu 12.04.2lts amd 64 version .

moved to multimedia & video

hello , welcome!

because ati stopped linux driver development , dropped support hd 2000 hd 4000 cards, way use cards 12.04.2 or greater bit of trickery downgrading x server, patching kernel , using special legacy driver.

in short, hodgepodge of changes cannot recommend because future consequences unclear -- happens when updated upsets apple cart? although there scripts , methods easily, don't think wise.

if have not done installation, recommend installing 12.04 or 12.04.1 instead , using ati driver (12.4) available in precise repo. don't use fglrx-updates because problematic. use fglrx driver.

best wishes!
