There is a problem even running UbuntuLive on the host of the ATI graphics card that is not supported by Ubuntu9.04. You cannot enter the GNOME Desktop. You can only enter the character interface. You only need to install the driver for the ATI graphics card on the Character interface: $ sudoapt-getinstallbuild-essential tialautoconfautomakelibtoolpkg-configgit-core $ sudoapt-getinstal

$ Sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git-core
$ Sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev x11proto-gl-dev mesa-common-dev xutils-dev x11proto-xf86dri-dev x11proto-fonts-dev x11proto-randr-dev x11proto-video-dev x11proto-xext-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev xserver-xorg-dev
$ Git clone git: // anongit.free‑top.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
$ Xf86-video-ati cd
$ Sudo./autogen. sh -- prefix =/usr -- enable-dri
$ Sudo make
$ Sudo make install
The above command is installed with the open-source edition atidriver, which can support most new ATI graphics cards. Try it.
