Nooob Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Good morning, or afternoon or ............... I have upgraded my video board to a VisionTek X1050, to add some performance to Vista. I am dual booting Vista and MDV 2008. Old card was an Nvidia chipset. First time around got a black screen in MDV. Ran XFdrake from safe mode and was able to get a low resolution screen with no 3D support. fglrx will not load. Found this and installed it: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandriva/2008...8.0.x86_64.html Ran XFdrake again and I chose the "Radeon 9500 to X1050" Again was unable to load fglrx, and could only support low res, no 3D. And to top it off, it took out my USB wireless adapter. I reconfigured it, and it still will not connect. Suggestions? Thanks! Nooob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 To cut a long story short: give it back, and get an nvidia card, if you can. Search this forum for "fglrx" to find out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooob Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Scarecrow, yes, I see what you mean. Will find a suitable Nvidia card. Thanks! Nooob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 NP. Sorry for being a bit harsh, and not offering a more practical solution, but I'm really fed up with ATi and its half assed drivers (which fortunately enough I have to tolerate only in my daughter's lappy).
