Upgrading from Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 with fglrx
So, ATI bit me in the ass again. I decided to update from Feisty to Gutsy today, and my working just fine, direct rendering ATI setup went kablooey. There was apparently some customized XGL stuff in Feisty (aka- hacks), that was corrected in Gutsy, but led to this issue here because of the malformed configs from Feisty. Make sense? No? Good, that means you’re paying attention.
Anyway. I just finished a clean install to a drive my roommate had given me. Installed, as per normal, and unlike Feisty everything just worked well once I enabled the restricted driver. So, hurrah.
Now to copy the important stuff from my home directory. And skip installing the MS Core fonts. This looks a lot better. I’ll just cram that junk into wine.
