http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello UF, I have a strange issue here that I am having trouble solving.

Default Ubuntu 10.10 install.

system info -> graphics -> driver says "unknown" and experiece : 'standard' Hardware -> additional drivers : totally empty. Windows are moving around sorta slow. lspci | grep VGA

What's wrong. Why doesn't additional drivers show propertietary ATI driver?

I have a compaq nx7010 laptop, with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000].

This page seems to say that my graphics chip is still supported. However, Settings -> Additional Drivers is empty, and has the title 'No proprietary drivers are in use on this system'.

Driver ATI Radeon HD 4650C 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi All,

I've installed Fedora12 on my desktop and I have ATI Radeon 4650.

X is running using the default ATI drivers as I couldn't find suitable driver for the card. Running lspci shows that my card model "04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]"

My problems:

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and have been struggling for hours trying to figure out how to get nvidia to detect my monitor. When I first installed Ubuntu, I opened the 'Additional Drivers' and installed the version-current option and rebooted.

AMD 11.12 driver issue 1 year 16 weeks ago

I followed the steps letter by letter in this post... Gnome 3.2 problems in the shell
