To get Ubuntu7.10

For more information about Ubuntu7.10-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application, see the following. Since Compiz was done well in Ubuntu 7.04 that day, I feel that I don't know what to do. It is comprehensive in Linux, and all the daily applications are available, on that day, I saw that Ubuntu was updated. Version 7.10 was officially available for download. By default, it used compiz as the window manager. So I felt itchy again, but the speed at home was too slow, I had to go to the company to talk about it.

At the company's meal time, I got an amd64-bit iso file, copied it to my house, and installed it on a hard disk. The installation process was so simple and smooth that I was playing games, the system was installed in over ten minutes, so we immediately went to Ubuntu.

I found that the new desktop version has changed, which is better than the previous one. No matter what you are, you are excited. Start to set the source, update, and install the necessary dependency package of the video card driver, the amd official website has installed the ati 7.12 driver. According to the online saying, the installation is complete, the driver is working, and the performance is greatly improved, previously, glxgears was used for drivers of version 7.11 only to run more than 1300, but now there are more than 1900, but the problem is that the resolution cannot be adjusted to 1440x900, So baidu and google have checked a lot, according to the above practices, they are ineffective. Most of them will be black screens, and the following message is displayed: "The frequency exceeds the limit." speechless. Finally, I can see a sentence in a corner of the amd official website, the driver of version 7.12 has a wide screen Bug (but I have only seen this sentence once and will never see it again ), I also said on the Internet that it is difficult to install drivers and software for 64-bit systems, but as long as I have the correct resolution, I will not be able to wait until the other steps are completed. so I thought of installing the driver with version 7.11, and found that the card was good, the hardware was not accelerated, and the window was dragged. view xorg. log.0, I found that one thing seems to be fglrx incompatible with the kernel. Of course, I 've done it many times in the drivers of these two la s, but I didn't come up with it. Version 7.11 didn't accelerate, but the resolution is normal. Version 7.12 has acceleration, but the resolution cannot be set. Forget to go to the company's next i386 7.10.

The company's speed was very fast, and it was just over. At home, I made a hard disk installation Startup File (I can also start with the amd64 boot script, but I can't identify it as a mouse, sound Card, network card and other hardware), found that the startup speed is good. the following is the installation.

During installation, I usually disable the network to speed up the installation. After installation, I can download it when I have time. I am too lazy to set up a Chinese environment. First, check whether the video card driver can run. Then, download some deb packages and install the video card driver. I will use either of the following methods: one is installed according to the method provided by ati, and the other is installed in the method compiled by yourself. It is still the same. When installed with version 7.12, resolution cannot be set, and version 7.11 is not accelerated, I didn't think much about it this time, and I was very depressed.

Once again, I went back to Ubuntu 7.04 and installed the ati graphics card driver again. After installing the 7.11 driver, there was no acceleration. Do you forget to set anything when I installed the driver? View xorg. log.0, locate EE, and google, then I found out that in my previous version 7.04, I added a fglrx in/etc/modules, but I didn't add it later, the hardware acceleration is coming out immediately (I also tried the 7.12 driver, and the resolution still cannot be set ).

I thought that this is the reason, then I went to xorg in 7.10-i386. log.0 saw the same error, so I should be able to install the driver there, so no matter, reload 7.10-i386 and install a system quickly. As we did previously, this time it is easy to install the 7.11 driver and the hardware acceleration is available, but the glxgears is only 7.04 as old as 1300. but you can also set the compiz script, and the 3D desktop will come out. The upgrade is complete after one week.

I suddenly thought that a new driver of Version 8.1 was released under Ati windows a few days ago. I haven't checked it for a Linux version a few times. I also checked it out. I was surprised to find that, haha.

I don't want to delete so much. I deleted version 7.11 and updated it to version 8.1. This was a great success. I found that there were more than 1800 glxgears and it was quite good. Then I opened the desktop, great.
