Hello
I'm trying to get the graphics working in a new install of Ubuntu. Not having much luck.
Details:
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) x86_64
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+
Sapphire X1950 GT 256MB PCIe x16
Samsung SyncMaster 205BW (1680x1050)
I've tried several options mentioned around the place however after several failures I thought I'd go back to the "Restricted Drivers" version and put up with that. However the best that driver seems to be able to offer (possibly because the monitor is not detected properly) me is 1280x1024.
Has anyone actually got the above combination working with 8.42.3 ? If so what magic did you have to pull off?
Is there any way I can get the "Restricted Drivers" version (I think it's 8.37 ??) running at 1680x1050?
Help would be extremely appreciated.
