Regarding the ati driver, u should check if radeon modul is up by console sudo lsmod | grep "radeon"

If it is, i suggest sudo rmmod radeon (no X while doing it), sudo depmod then sudo modprobe fglrx (if u have instaled the module) .
Check if it works then blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist with blacklist radeon at the end.

I've have expirienced alot of users who had the same problem, and the removal of radeon module fixed it (BUG ?) in edgy.
Maybe the same problem appears in feisty.

Ok so i have dealt with my ati x1300 alot lately trying to get it just perfect - im running ubuntu edgy - and i have successfully installed the drivers and XGL/Beryl SVN on - ATI X1300 - Ati Xpress 200M - and the ATI X600 - so dont give up were gonna have beryl running for you - there are two full proof ways i have found for me that work everytime if one doesnt work the othe will - keep in mind that i havent touched fiesty so ya know - and also before i continue i must warn you that the ati provided drivers for the Xseries cards are somewhat problematic i have been experiencing some driver related problems when XGL is running --

both of these methods require internet i also included some info on making wireless work at the bottom of my post

Method 1 the easy way -- (although this does work on edgy all the time i doubt it will work on fiesty but its worth a try - i know for sure it doesnt work on dapper)

Download this python automatic installer script called envy its somewhere on this site -- http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html

it does everything for you when complete it will ask you if you would like it to automatically configure your xorg.conf file say yes restart -
 and if

$ glxinfo | grep direct

gives you

direct rendering = yes

your good

ok

Method 2 - the hard way

 first you will also want to make sure your dependencies are in order and up to date

 $ sudo apt-get update

 $ sudo apt-get install module-assistant build essential

 $ sudo apt-get install fakeroot dh-make debconf libstdc++5 linux-headers-s(uname -r)

 next

download the installer from the amd ati website its about 50 megs

 $ cd /home/yourinstallerslocation/

 $ sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run --builpkg Ubuntu/fiesty

 this will walk you through a couple of options and build a set of deb files specifically for your install and hardware it will produce 5 deb packages - install only 3

 $ sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx*********.deb

 $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source********.deb

 $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-control*********.deb

 in some cases you may have to delete your old fglrx kernel from usr/src - i made the mistake of removing what i thought was the old kernel then i had to go back and reinstall those 3 packages above

 compile the the fglrx kernel

 $ sudo module-assistant prepare

 $ sudo module-assistant update

 $ sudo module-assistant build fglrx

 $ sudo module-assistant install fglrx

 $ sudo depmod -a

 edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace "ati" with "fglrx" in the "Device" section

 then

 $ sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

 now restart and check to see if

 glxinfo | grep direct

 gives you

 Direct rendering: yes

---------------- OK now for wireless

does your wifi card come up in device manager because to me it souns like your drivers are not installed -------------

there are 3 ways that i know to go about fixing this issue ---

1. go to the manufacturers website and see if they provide drivers that support your distro
2. use ndiswrapper to modify you windows device driver to work in linux
3. use madwifi which comes with common drivers for certain chipsets

I have only used ndis wrapper once and it worked well
i have also used madwifi and was pleased with the results

i installed ndiswrapper on a compaq laptop with a broadcom wireless device and this is how i approached it - just substitue my drivers name for yours

1.)Remove all forms and versions of ndiswrapper

 2.)Blacklist the already installed Broadcom driver:

 Code: echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

 Also:

 Code: sudo rmmod bcm43xx

 3.)DO NOT DO:

 Code: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils

 the packages in the repositories are messed up

 4.)DOWNLOAD NDISWRAPPER SOURCE CODE FROM HERE:

 http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=93482

 Personally, I used 1.27 stable if this won't compile for you with the following instructions download a different version.

 NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE BUILD ESSENTIAL PACKAGES INSTALLED TO PERFORM SOME OF THE FOLOWING STEPS

 I REALIZE YOU MAY NOT BE ONLINE LIKE I WAS SO I HAD TO INSTALL THEM FROM THE CD LIKE THIS:

 sudo apt-cdrom add
 sudo aptitude update
 sudo aptitude install build-essential
 gcc -v

 5.)Compile ndiswrapper. (The first step is where you'll run into an error with Edgy Eft.)

 Code: cd /home/avrclient/whereyoudownloadedandextractedndiswrapper

 Code: sudo make uninstall (must have root access or it won't delete files or folders properly)

 THIS STEP IS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!
 This is where you'll get an error and it tells you to repeat the step as many times as necessary to get NO errors.

 dont worry about the error just remove that directory yourself with

 Code: sudo rmdir /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper

 6.)Now run:

 Code: sudo make

 sudo make install

 If all goes well ndiswrapper will compile and install ndiswrapper.ko into /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/misc/ with no errors.

 7.)NOW run:

 Code: sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/avrclient/driver/bcmwl5.inf

 thats where i put my driver

 8.)Verify installation:

 Code: ndiswrapper -l

 This will return:

 Code: bcmwl5 driver installed, hardware (14E4:4324(this numbering may vary) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)

 This is OK.

 9.)Now do the following step by step:

 A.) sudo depmod -a

 B.) sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

 C.) sudo ndiswrapper -m

 D.) sudo gedit /etc/modules

 E.) add "ndiswrapper" at the end of file

 NOW THE DRIVER IS INSTALLED BUT YOU WILL NEED A NETWORK MANAGER - I GOT ON MY WINDOWS BOX AND DOWNLOADED WIFIRADAR FOR LINUX AND BURNED IT

 unpack wifi radar

 change to that directory in your terminal

 code: cd /home/avrclient/wifi

 then

 code: sudo make install

 wifi radar will appear under applications - internet - wifiradar

if you need to connect to a wpa network then you will want to use network manager --

hi
there has been some movements going on...after I saw the last post and tried to follow it without success I thought maybe I'll try opensuse 10.2. I installed and saw that the same problems persisting at opensuse + some others that u don't find them in feisty. opensuse was not a good choice for my laptop config. so I decided to turn back to feisty.I installed it and after boot he started to make the updates. after that I started instaling some apps and the installing guide of wiki ati driver x1300. I reboot and what i found was really unbelievable.

I have now direct rendering, and I don't know what I did.maybe is feisty who had done some upgrades or updates..?anyway if someone is able to tell me if I can install beryl with the above configuration?????

the other surprise is that: invoke the command lspci....it seems that some devices are recognized (ricoh card reader and bluetooth)....even that ...I tested them and they don't work. but it seems to me that they are recognized by feisty.

Okay hello every one, i am new to this complicated system, i am a windows user i have been reading over 50 threads of problems and yet i am still stuck with like 20 of them
1. When installing ubuntu 7.04 on my dell xps 210 2.66 dual core ati x1300 graphic card 1gb ram ,very fast computer.

i run the installation goes thru very well like a drink of water, but when i try to install my graphic card so i can change the resolution i get no where . i have tried the following steps (http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html)
and completed them 6 times meaning 6 additional steps of formatting my drive to remove ubuntu so i can re-install and try these steps again, why because every time i complete these steps ubuntu will lose my lcd display when entering the login screen and i am left with a blank screen , from what i understand it has to do with my ati x1300 which i have tried to configure several times

ok about now your probably wondering how stupid i am i agree because this ubuntu is so dam hard to understand comparing to xp , and the name its self is hard to read ( u.b.u.n.t.u ) who made that name any ways its sounds like a error in my head .

The only reason i would ever consider using ubuntu is because it looks hot. But dam how many of us had to go thru problems and problems

i would like to know if any one has information of lerarning the entire operating system
so i and we can all help understand more about it and furthur expend its features and issues

Now i am still looking to make the best of it if any one can help me or forward me to information easy to understand i would greatly appreciated my email address is <email address hidden>
Now I am a new Yorker so time is every thing

name ubuntu it means a lot. but I suppose that you lack of time to surf for
the meaning of ubuntu....:) I don't have time for this aether.
im on dell too. with a ati x1300. wrong choice. any way some tweaking and it
works well but always on xgl as ati don't support axgl.
whatever u do to get graphics work, consider this command from
terminal(black window like msdos times) command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg" write the exact command without (").
u can do this from a terminal while os in work or from tty (ctrl alt f1).
invoked sudo dpkg command u will be able to reconfigure xorg.conf file which
is the file that ubuntu read to make ati x1300 work. chose the option that u
think are optimal to your dell resolution, mouse, linguage, and which is
more important choose fglrx instead of vesa driver of course if u had done
fglrx installation guide, from this page:
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide

surf some ubuntu kubuntu web forums , learn some more and if u still have
probs with ati write me.
see you.
