How do i install ati radeon hd 3650 driver on my pc?

Question

I need help on this.

I want to try using ubuntu so i downloaded the 11.10 version over the net.

Well after the installation my desktop, i have run the the additional drivers. It installed about 70+ items i think and after a while a window pops up and asks me about the radeon driver, something about the 2 options, the propriety drivers i think. I tried installing the 1st one but i got an error, and i tried the 2nd one and i installed it. After installation it asked me to restart. After i restart, i cant see the ubuntu interface anymore.. all i get to see is a black screen with a message moving around saying "Input Not Supported".

So can i ask how can i install the graphics driver for my pc? i want the cool effect of ubuntu.. hehehe

Im a super newbie in using ubuntu so please bear with me:)

Answer 1

First of all, uninstall the proprietary driver to see a desktop again. Press ALT+CTRL+F1, login and type following commands:

• Removing proprietary driver

$ sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh $ sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*

• Install open-source driver again

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon

$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core

$ sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

$ sudo rm -rf /etc/ati

If you receive: "$ E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-dri..."

Change third command above so:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 xserver-xorg-core

• Now reboot your computer with:

$ sudo shutdown -r now

Now your default open-source driver will be used.

To install newest Catalyst driver, following this step-by-step guide from here:

Mmm... Your problem is very strange, probably you need to reinstall the ubuntu installation, you can try to enter in text-console (like recovery) mode, selecting it on the grub options (options displayed at the start after boot ubuntu) and if this work, you most log in specifing your username and password, next tray to dowload the official driver, typing the next commands:

x86/x64:

• wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run
• sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run
• sudo ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run

If this not work, you must reinstall ubuntu completly, and before to logged in, download and install manualy the package described up (driver).

Finaly, I apologize for my bad english, i'm learning it.
