Hi,

I just installed linuxmint 7 and after first boot an alarm poped-in the task bar ... that my ATI graphics is not active ... when I pressed to activated a downloading process started and the driver is downloaded ... then I restarted ... the system boots but the screen is black and no messege but one "OUT Of RANGE" ... So, I reinstalled mint again ... and I need help how to make my drivers to work fine & stable ...

Well, I have downloaded the file ... NOW, how to install ... Step by step please cuz I am a very newbie in linux ...

[Alpha-Geek]

On the page you downloaded the driver from, they have a link to "Installer Instructions" It's a step by step procedure.

I followed the instructions ... but, stopped from the beginning ... HOW 2 navigate for the file in the terminal ... ???

[junkieweb]

OK,

NOW ... I know how to navigate for the desktop using terminal ... then I ran the installer with code they gave" in the manual " .....

Then I restarted my computer ... then the system boots but the monitor is black an says OUT OF RANGE ... how to fix ...

My guess is that xorg isn't configured properly.

can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf here?

well, if you want to see (not modify), them open the "terminal" and type or paste this in:

Code: Select all

gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

if you want to actually edit the file:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

you will be prompted to enter your password (it doesn't show on screen)

Just copy/paste the contents of it here (use code tags)


EDIT
You can try these install instructions, they have always worked for me. (manual install of ATi's drivers from the ATi site anyway)
