在Ubuntu 9.04不支持的ATI显卡的机子上甚至运行Ubuntu Live都有问题,无法进入GNOME桌面,只能进入字符界面,只有在字符界面先给ATI显卡安装驱动了:
$sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git-core
$sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev x11proto-render-dev xserver-xorg-dev
$git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
$cd xf86-video-ati
$sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-dri
$sudo make
$sudo make install
上面的命令安装的是开源版ATI驱动,已能支持大多数ATI新显卡了,不妨试一试。
