Video Card Not working...

[benhaynes]

Ok, so I have Ubuntu and a ATI Radeon 9600 and dual displays. I had everything working yesterday, but then after trying to install beryl, I screwed something up and had to revert to my OLD xorg.conf file. Now I lost my screen resolution and dual displays... and when I do the same tutorial I did the first time... it doesnt work.

Here is the tutorial I followed...
HERE

I am getting the following for fglrxinfo:

ben@Linux:~$ fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

I tried this fix (which worked last time):

mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri  
ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

But it no longer works... can anyone please help me? If I didnt give enough info let me know...

Try to reinstall the fglrx drivers. After you uninstalled them, follow that tutorial again. My advice - don't try beryl, I've messed up Fedora a few times and had to reinstall it again.

It sounds like your xorg.conf is now pointing to the open source ATI drivers rather than the proprietary ones. Post your xorg.cong here (don't forget to use the code tags, that file can be pretty big).
