http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi guys! I have a Dell Studio 1535 notebook, which has a Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics card in it. The problem is, that immediately after I install the ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics driver, the screen brightness will be set up automatically to 100% after each reboot. (By using the default ubuntu settings, without the installed ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics driver, the issue does not occur.) Within the AMD Catalyst Control Center I wasn't able to find any option to set it correctly up. I searched a lot for the solution on the net, but does not found any... Anybody help me by this? (Hardware)

Hi there. I've just bought my new machine, Lenovo thinkpad edge E520 with configuration mentioned at the end. I tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on it. It seemed to be no problem, but the graphics card driver.

I tried to use "Additional Hardware" which had 1. ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics (post-release updates) which resulted INSTALLATION FAILURE! 2.

Hi there! The ati graphics-card i have installet in my laptop is HD 5470. I have installed the drivers both from the repositories AND from System Settings -> Additional Drivers -> ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. I can locate the Catalyst Control Center, but i cannot open it.

I have recently have upgraded to Ubutnu 11.10 and I have not been able to activate by ATI Radeon Mobility HD5400 driver. I have been able to activate the ATI/AMD propreitary FGLRX graphics driver using the AMD wiki, but I cannot activate the (post-release update) driver.

Fresh install of 12.04

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4200]

'Additional Drivers' shows ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) as not installed. ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver says it installs successfully when I try.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (0x5652) installed on my laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).

If I may ask, is the FGLRX drivers will work for my graphics card? I know the latter versions may not be compatible with my card, however, would the old versions of FGLRX work on 11.04?

I just wanted to control the graphics card though, rather than modifying the xorg.conf again.

Thanks :)

I ran an update on Ubuntu 11.10 to update to the 3.0.0-15-generic kernel today (Friday 20th January). I restarted the computer to find that I could not log in.

Hi, Ubuntu 11.10 was the last release that I could install on my Dell Inspiron 1564, with this graphics card:

Code: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4330/4350/4550] All releases after 11.10 froze once in 2-3 days, with color stripes on the screen.
