Graphics Chipset Problem Resolution
information source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488332
When you boot the CD and the xserver fails and display the message you select no. then in the console you type in this order:
- sudo -s
- killall gdm
- apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
- depmod -a
- aticonfig --initial
- gdm start
After that the xserver loads and you can install ubuntu.
- When you install Ubuntu doesn´t load the restricted drivers so the same problems show up, but you can do the same and it works.
- If you want this device to work wully, then install the proprietary driver that ubuntu notifies you of on startup.
