I suggest you try to seek help in that forum and maybe even comment that it isn't working for you. Only view those instructions if you are okay with having to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch.įinally, the open source driver appears not to work due to a bug. Reason for Linkage: I do not condone following those steps. If you do follow that answer, I am not responsible for any harm done to your computer. Other posts in that thread might be able to help you, but back up your PC and be okay with re-installing from scratch. Do not try it unless you really, really, really, really need the full ATI card power. You will be downgrading you X11 and your kernel, which may break your entire system. However, this is very risky and I do not recommend it at all. It will add a PPA where you can get the legacy driver. nomodeset is, unfortunately, your best option.Īs linked in a comment, this answer might be able to help you. And as such, X11 and the Linux Kernel do not support the legacy drivers, even if you were to get a copy elsewhere.


Legacy downloads are also no longer available. Doing some further research, I have discovered that your graphics card no longer has drivers supported by ATI.
