Anybody Good with Gutsy Gibons?

Post by metkillerjoe »

I've been trying to install drivers for my X1300. I keep getting the following error and was wondering if anybody would able to help me.
mark@UBUNTU:~$ sudo /home/mark/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy

Created directory fglrx-install.U18875

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Odd that you have to install divers for yours. Mine detected them automatically. Though, I have an nVidia, so it could be with different manufacturers.

Try this: Go under System > Administrative > Restricted Graphics Drivers. (Or something like that.)

I had to enable mine to allow me to use some of the more graphically intense visual effects, so, you may be able to do that, and use your graphics cards extent. Though, I may be completely wrong, and not be helping (or hurting) your system.
