Comment 29 for bug 838577

Hi Steffen,

I would like to do that, but I'm not completely sure how.

I tried the steps outlined here (
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?highlight=%28ATI%29
 )

Unfortunately this means that I get NO picture at all... I then have to boot
into recovery mode and reverse all the changes.
I did purge the old packages before though.
I also tried to replace the xorg.conf with the one created during install
(as you say: 'so that all the xorg stuff is right'). This also had no effect
: blank screen!

Thanks,

Chris
