    How do i download drivers in text mode?

    Hey guys

    Am still stuck in Text-Mode. I am running an ATI Radeon 9250.

    What is the command(s) i need for downloading the driver from the ATI site? or somewhere else if anyone knows of somewhere.

    Im getting desperate for the answer to this one.

    The first step would be to enter GUI mode, then you can worry about installing the ATI drivers. Simply reconfigure the X server :
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    And choose the ati, radeon or vesa driver (one of the three will certainly work).

    You can also install a text based web browser such as links or w3m and use that to browse the ati site and download the drivers you need.
