Download the Linux driver suitable for your ATI graphics card, because my computer is ThinkPad t400, 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10.

So I chose Linux x86 and the graphics card driver model is ATI radeon HD 3XXX series. File Name: ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run.

 

2. install necessary Libraries

Terminal command

Sudo apt-Get install build-essential CDBs fakeroot DH-make debhelper debconf libstdc ++ 5 dkms

Note: libstdc ++ 5 Library cannot be installed, Because ubuntu 9.10 contains the updated libstdc ++ 6 library.

 

3. Create the Deb installation package for the video card

Terminal command

Sh ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run -- buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic

Note: different versions of ubuntu are followed by different parameters.

 

4. Install the Deb package of the video card

For 32-bit systems:

Terminal command

Sudo dpkg-I xorg-driver-fglrx_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.671-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

 

5. Create the graphics card configuration file Xorg. conf

Terminal command

Sudo aticonfig -- Initial-F

 

6. Force use the created video card configuration file

Terminal command

Sudo aticonfig -- input =/etc/X11/Xorg. conf -- TLS = 1
