Okay, I've been trying to do it all by myself, and I've been failing miserably when the directions make it stupid-proof.
Well, I've broken the stupid-proofness.
Anyway, I have the HD 4670. I know there's radeon and radeonhd. I've read guides saying to install radeon. I've done the ppas, tried installing through the git, and compiling. Heck, I don't even know what I'm really talking about. At the end of the day, I've been getting the black screen of death over and over.
My linux-kernel is the latest that's out though. I did that right, at least.
Two weeks ago, I managed to get radeonhd to work. I had no compiz support or any other desktop features, and then I randomly had blue lines going vertically across my screen, whether I'm booting or in gnome. I heard updating to 2.6.33-rc3 fixes that, but nothing has changed on my end.
So the question. What guide should I follow. Should I keep trying to use radeon, or should I just go back ahead and put radeonhd back on? And which instructions should I follow so that I'm not constantly fixing my xorg and starting over?
I need something that's pretty stupid proof. I can figure out how to put all the commands in, but every guide I've used has led me straight to failure. I just don't got it.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
