Re: apt-get problems
Alright, thanks a lot. But can you give me just a bit more instruction on
effecting the switch between drivers please? I have a configuration file
called XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11R6/ which contains a section "Graphics
Device Section", with config instructions for a "standard VGA device" and
the ATI driver (this config file was generated automatically by
fglrxconfig). Should I make a renamed copy of this, delete the ATI part
from the original and then reboot, or what? You see I don't really know
what I'm up to.
Thanks again.
