Ok, the "fglrx" drivers in Ubuntu's repositories don't do anything, they don't support AIGLX so no Compiz. So, I downloaded the ones from ATi's site (8.443.1 I think) and run the .run file. It installs them, and then it asks to reboot. PC comes back on, but monitor (Compaq MV720) says:
"OUT OFF RANGE" (Yes, it says "OFF" not "OF")
"H: 31-70KHz"
"V: 50-99Hz"
"PC DISPLAY SETTINGS"
"CORRECT?"
I switched back to VESA to try reinstalling, but finally got the new fglrx up using set modes. However, it refuses to use hardware acceleration, insisting on Mesa Indirect for OpenGL. I've tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg then running aticonfig --initial, adding mode lines (for resolutions) by hand, using ATi Catalyst Control Center, and more...these lame horrible trash drivers just don't want to do anything. What's the best way to get an ATi card working on Linux (X1600Pro)?
