Was I supposed to pick a category?

This was super helpful!

I’m migrating my comment to the Disqus comment moderation system. Comments are down for the day, while we import all the old ones. So if we had a discussion going, please know I’ll have them back up soon.

Thanks!

I’ve been extremely inactive here for a while — and that doesn’t look like it’s going to change anytime soon.  Please forgive me if you posted a comment and it went unapproved. I wasn’t getting notices and hadn’t been here to check for weeks. That’s pathetic. I’ll certainly do better at that.

I upgraded (grrr) to Ubuntu 12.10 and lost 3d video support. Looks like the ATI Mobility radeon HD 4250 driver is no longer support by AMD/ATI. The laptop is only 3 years old. So that really frustrates me.

Anyway, looks like I had to revert to the legacy drivers just to get the thing half way operational.  This has killed Minecraft for my son on this laptop.  #bummer.

Latest proprietary AMD Catalyst driver version 12.9 cannot be used with Ubuntu 12.10 If you have a AMD Radeon HD 2xxx-4xxx series card.

Drivers for these cards are now available in a separate branch called legacy series. Unfortunately these legacy drivers (version 12.6) have not been updated to work with Ubuntu 12.10. Ubuntu 12.10 comes with xorg 1.13 while these drivers have support for older xorg 1.12.So if you want to install these drivers in Ubuntu 12.10, you have to downgrade to xorg 1.12.

To install these packages open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy

Remove these packages using the following commands

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:makson96/fglrx

Thanks Ubuntu Geek.

It’s time to re-launch this blog… anyone still out there??? Leave me a comment and note of encouragement if you are.  🙂  Thanks!
