i have a ati radeon hd 4850 graphic card and run ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) .First I installed the restricted driver by using the hardware drivers menu. After installation I reboot and try to check the extra radio button in the visual effects tab of the appearence preferences . I tried several times and came to the conclusion it didn't work. So I downloaded the newest ati-driver on the amd-site. But the result stays the same! Then I install EnvyNG, and uncheck the "enabled" button next to the ati driver(8.543-0ubuntu4.1) and then reboot. Then I go to the visual settings tab again (without re-enabling the driver) and i check the "extra' radio button. Ubuntu checks for available drivers and after re-enabling them, I got the " Desktop effects could not be enabled" error message again and I close the appearence preferences. And Then i got the fglrx-installer error message it said something like the driver crashed or something like that.
