Re: No X unless I use vmware Dear blound,
The advice so far is correct - you must, with cards above the 1900 use the fglrx driver, and the instructions posted should work, depending upon the drivers available in the repositories.
I, personally, would use the drivers from the ati site, as they tend to be the most current.
You need to make certain that the build environment is present, and I do not know if it is present in ubuntu by default(it is not in debian).
"ati" is the open source driver which specifically states it does not support that card, so using it is a lost cause, vesa has been known to work, but only at certain resolution levels, and is hit and miss.
The current drivers from the ati site, built with the correct build environment are therefore the best way to go.
If you need help building the ati drivers from the site. please let me know.
