I don't have the parts to test it out for you.

Okay, I have installed the package. &nbsp;Like I said, though, I am fairly new to Linux. &nbsp;How do I ensure that this driver is the one being used rather than either the proprietary FGLRX or the ATI 8.600-0ubuntu2 that Envy installed?

Okay, well, basically I loaded ubuntu 9.04 on a machine and everything works great except video. &nbsp;The install gives me the option to go to the proprietary driver to enable acceleration, but when I use that driver login takes forever and then my second monitor freaks out and flashes constantly, locking 1 core on the cpu into some sort of loop. &nbsp;I tried using Envy to install a different driver, only 1 of which was seen as compatible and recommended, but that produced the same results. &nbsp;<br />

Fairly new to Linux, so I might be missing something. &nbsp;Any suggestions?
