G'day all,
Benq Joybook 7000 (ATI MOBILITY RADEON X600) - no problems in Gutsy or Hardy, but ghastly low resolution and aspect ratio only in Intrepid - Ubuntu 8.10 does not seem to detect the correct video hardware.
I've read through all above posts and many sound like Klingon or give directions without procedures (I neither speak Linux nor really wish to... I just like it and use it), but I gather Mr Cockup has visited the video driver. Just how do you find and install a new hardware driver? And don't tell me to deactivate the @#@ driver before upgrading. Unlike everyone else in the world who read the warning label and fine print and knew off the top of their head that they had r3xx hardware, I just pressed the upgrade button because Ubuntu's been working so well for me.
Is there a fix procedure yet?

Cheers,
Phil
