Here's what I get after installing the binary driver for ATI when I try to open it.
NO ATI GRAPHIS DRIVERS INSTALLED OR THE ATI DRIVER IS NOT FUNCTUIONING PROPERLY
I cannot aread the rest because its wa to small. The only option I have to click OK
I get the same message when I install the catalyst driver.

The xorg version is too new in karmic so the driver cannot be used. You can install Jaunty to get full support or you MAY be able to remove xorg to install an older xorg. I have not done this so cannot vouch for any success you may or may not have and do not advise it but it could be an option.

You can tell the display to go higher using xorg.conf

Karmic doesn't ship with the file but if you make one it will be oneyed.

Can you help with this problem?
