r u using sayura? (its bit buggy but do the trick)

Get the Driver from here :
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownlo...spx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.2&lang=English

Before running that, install kernel headers. From a Terminal run :
sudo apt-ger install linux-headers-generic

then run the downloaded ATI driver file :
sudo sh fullname_of_ATI_driver.run

That'll install the ATI drivers.

its working ...!! thanks for the support!
im running 1280*1024 flawlessly! this is awsum!

mm YES and NO

YES becouz they are learning from the Fedoras Feedbacks. is dat wrong? and Selling any linux distro is OK. FREE is not nikam, its nidahas.

NO becouz they are diff projects. Fedora is Community based.so it has gr8 community and sup dat RHEL dun hv.

-------------
and i saw u (may be other one) says suse is ok. NOVELL (suses Developers) are directly Dealing with the microsoft and giving a bad image amang Linux Commiunity. yes THEY ARE JUST Betraying THE FOSS COMMUNITY and sm guys think its COOL..

RH is doing a gr8 service to FOSS Community as well as earning, even Canonical do such..

If fedora is a beta. i love beta distros

 

[lolipro]

NO bro I never said Suse is ok!! but im curious wheather suse is OK!

AFAIK, slackware uses neither. Its all compile and install. So packages are mostly in tgz archives.

I prefer compiling packages in any distro

 

[lolipro]

ayyo bro i need to know how to compile

I prefer compiling packages in any distro

Can someone please tell me how to compile and install in linux what are the bash commands????

 

[kosandpol]

Can someone please tell me how to compile and install in linux what are the bash commands????

usually its :
./configure

make

sudo make install

But some doesnt require the ./configure or others requires you to pass parameters.
Always READ the documentation that comes with the software as it gives instructions on how to compile it.

AND
i want to know where the SCIM plugins(libraries for input schemes) is located??

AND

its usually :
g++ name_of_cpp_file.cpp -o name_of_compiled_binary_file

No idea where those scim files are. Google is your friend.

install the nvidia-glx-180 package.
From a terminal run :
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180

This will install the driver needed for the nvidia 8400GS card. I assume that this is a GEFORCE card right ?

Not necessary dude. The drivers for nvidia cards are available in the Ubuntu repos. See my above post.

 

[RCROCKS]

hey. i am new to ubuntu. so in terminal i have to type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 and enter? thats all?
