Few months ago I installed guttsy and i ran into a problem with my videocard, i tried to fix it many ways. Sometimes it even seemed like it was working, but still could not enable the desktop effects. Then I gave up, three days ago though i decided to install hardy and I have the same problem as before. Ive read many forums and tried many things. For example envy, manual install of the official driver from ati website, enabling the restricted driver in ubuntu, doing all these and then enabling xgl (which caused a major lag). So i guess what i would like is someone with the same video card to tell me how to install my video drivers properly.
Ati Radeon X1950 Pro Specs
I would much apritiate it thank you. Last edited by jerjely; April 27th, 2008 at 03:15 PM. Hi Jerjely, I finally got this card going properly in Linux after owning it for 6 months+. Some guy called Alastair over at the ATI bugzilla has figured out how to get it going! By: 1) Follow the manual install option for the Proprietary ATI drivers at EXCEPT before rebooting, you also need to make sure the AGP memory listing matches up at 3 places, to avoid the 'ATI black screen of death': 2) Look up exactly how much video RAM your card has, eg from the box, receipt, or the ATI control centre in windows (it will either be 256MB or 512MB).
For the instructions below I'll go with 512, but substitute as appropriate. 3) edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and add the following line at the end of the fglrx device section. Hi, I've had endless problems with the ATI Radeon X1950 and Ubuntu (not that I'm critising Ubuntu which is excellent, more that ATI just don't seem to get their act together).
Anyway, I've got a dual head set up based on two Xerox X74 19' monitors running with 1280x1024. What this gives me is essentially a main desktop (Monitor0) which has all the desktop bits and pieces, and a spare one to the right for any extras I care to put there. All windows maximize within Monitor0 so it's very similar to a standard Windows dual head situation. None of this enormous stretchy windows malarky like with Xinerama and so on, although you can use the lovely wide desktop backgrounds at 2560x1024 natural resolution. You won't get any 3D acceleration just yet, although it is planned for the future, which means that you'll be stuck with basic desktop effects but this works well for me.
If it's any consolation I tried every conceivable way to get the X1950 to work both with EnvyNG and manual attempts. Different flavours and versions of fglrx, ati, and vesa and every time the 3D stuff utterly failed, I had a crap dual head setup and the desktop effects didn't work, so you're not missing out. The fglrx driver even reported the X1950 as being an unrecognised third party knock off which was bizarre.
The way to get this to work with your trusty X1950 is not to use the ATI drivers at all and instead use radeonhd - the open source driver for ATI cards. So, uninstall fglrx and ATI (EnvyNG to the rescue) and check that you've got radeonhd installed (look in System Administration Synaptic Package Manager).
If you're running 8.04 (Hardy) then it'll be there by default. Unfortunately, this setup does require a bit of system level tweaking, so I'll just assume that you're unfamiliar with Linux commands and X11 and give it to you step by step. You may want to print these instructions in case your video setup is vaped and you can't get back. First open up a terminal window (Applications Accessories Terminal) and initiate an interactive root shell to avoid typing sudo all the time.
Code: shutdown -r nowBang - the system goes into restart. And here is where the pain may start. Either the system will reboot nicely and it'll all just work (yay!), or you'll have a crashed X11 setup and a blank screen (darn). Troubleshooting - If you can interact with the system, you'll need to reinstate the original xorg.conf. This can be done by one of several methods: 1) CTRL+ALT+F1 (or F2-F6) will bring up a console based terminal which will allow you to login and make changes (see later) 2) Ubuntu will present you with a lo-res Configure.
Option so just choose that and do the best you can with it and limp into a low grade setup. Open up a terminal like before and follow the instructions given later. 3) Total lock up. Hit the power button and restart. You'll have to stop GRUB at startup using ESC the moment the BIOS has handed over control (not possible with a USB keyboard so find a PS/2 based one) and selecting the second item down in the list (recovery mode). Eventually it'll give you a command prompt.
So you've managed to get back to a terminal and you're cursing yet another failed attempt at getting the X1950 to work. You're not alone.

A brief video on how to upgrade or replace the graphics card of 2006 to 2011 Mac Pro computer models. The video card driver installs automatically and it is transparent to the user; a true plug and play behavior.
Before working on the computer: 1. Shut down the computer. Wait 5 to 10 minutes to allow the computer's internal components to cool down. Unplug all external cables from the computer except the power cord. Touch the metal chasis of the computer to discharge any static electricity from your body. Remove the power cord. IMPORTANT: BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR COMPUTER, MAKE SURE YOU ARE ESD SAFE!
Just Google the word ESD and find out how to prevent electrostatic build up. If you wash your hands with water before working on your computer, could also prevent electrostatic build up; make sure you don't have any water excess on your hands.
