Hello
Well, after two months filled with hopeless instalation of ubuntu 8.04, finally I can write something in this topic = ).
What I achive, as far as now is:
- working sound driver [ Sound driver works just after instalation so, this is not my kung fu = ) ]
- working graphic driver
- working WiFi driver
- successful update to 8.10 versionA few words about graphic driver, Ubuntu 8.04 has build in driver which we should (not) tick on in driver manager. Well I did it, and after this operation ( and reboot ) I get black screen. If you have done the same thing, you should go into recovery mode, and here in prompt type:
- Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Ok, we are back in Ubuntu. To get proper
graphic driver follow this steps:
1. Go to Synaptic
2. Look for fglrx-control packet
3. Install it
4. Go to terminal ( prompt )
5. Type in sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
6. Look for line with word "driver" and change value to "fglrx" [ Section "device " ]
7. If you can't find, type manualy Driver "fglrx"
8. Now download and install envy for ubuntu

9. Reboot
I've tried just with envy, but it didn't work, after I edit xorg.conf driver starts working properly. That's all. = )

2. install build-essential, module-assistant, u can find them in synaptic
3. add to file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist words " blacklist ath5k " and after this add empty line
4. Than u can use this website
