Comment 10 for bug 194249

This happened when I tried to follow the instructions here
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide
I had to do the manual install. Things went wrong and for some reason synaptic
uninstalled some packages, it even tried to uninstall the graphical frontend,
Mythubuntu. It appeared that at the end of the instructions (sudo
dpkg -i --force-overwrite xorg-driver-fglrx_8.471-0*.deb
fglrx-kernel-source_8.471-0*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.471-0*.deb) it couldn't find
a shared library libGL.so.1 even though I had it installed in /lib32 and
/lib64. I copied a link from one of those to the /lib folder and it appears to
be ok now.

I'm trying to get hardware acceleration enabled on my graphics card without
much success but at least fglrxinfo is showing the proprietary name of my
graphics card now.

When you say you want a copy of my log, how do you want it attached and where?

Howard

Could you attach your Xorg.0.log? Also, please try adding:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
