Re: Fresh install of xubuntu blacks out after installing video said by No_Strings:2.Why not use the one from the Ubuntu repository? Unless I'm mistaken, the one that xubuntu told me to go get through its notifier for hardware drivers is from the ubuntu repository, and that's the one that led to me having a nice blackout and unable to use the computer at all. |

| Because you didn't make the required changes to the xorg file. I suspect you'll have the same result with the driver from ATI.
Good luck. |

Davenport, FL | What xorg file? I just did what it told me to do. It told me I needed the driver, I let it download and install. It asked me to reboot, so I did. When I restart, I got blackout and no way to get anything to turn up.
couldn't it just have done this already?  |

| Do you want to know how to fix it or do you want to whine about how it's not like Windows? I'm trying to help.
You should be able to get to a console as I described above, invoke an editor and make changes to the config file to properly list the driver, resolutions available and the like. |
