does anybody know how to change drivers in ubuntu

(1/2) > >>

dam_it_chirs:
My video driver is a radeon 9250 and the computer is reading it radeon 9200
I went to add/remove programs and found the drivers I need and installed them but no change
can anybody help

thynk:
After doing a lot of reading on the ubuntu forums I ran across this script

http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

This guy is one of the ubuntu grurus for video cards.  I haven't tried the Envy script on an ATI box (might just do that when I reinstall my laptop) but it worked, first time "out of the box" for the Nvidia 6500 drivers.

Shiner_Man:
Where do you see it "reading" the video card as radeon 9200?  What does the output of lspci say about your video card?

jcd:
If you have not done it already, to reconfigure your system to use the closed source ATI video driver you might have to run:


--- Quote ---# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
--- End quote ---

It will certainly default to the "vesa" driver and you might need to force it to ATI/radeon.

I hope it helps

dam_it_chirs:
none of them worked
the envy made me restart my computer and the command is not working
