Hi All I'm preparing a custumized live-dvd based un ubuntu, in this .iso i have installed some software that needs 3d acceleration graphics driver. the procedure i'm using to get it working on a standard PC is : - boot from dvd - log-in - go in text-mode : "ctrl+alt+F1" - stop gdm : "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" - install the driver (i have a copy for both Nvidea and Ati propietary drivers in a directory : /home/user/driver) : "sh NVIDEAxxxx.run" - follow the instructions on screen - restart X : "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" Unlucky this procedure do not works on my macbook pro 2.2 , beacouse the ctrl+alt+F1 is not detected by the system and try to stop X in a terminal session, i'm not able to restart it (i got a black screen) please let-me know if you have any clue about. if you want i can burn a new .iso including other specifics hardware- driver also provide you the .iso to test-it. thanks for any suggestion! regards, Massimo. |

I don't believe that ATI's proprietary drivers support the X1600 anymore.

Heya, So looks like some kind of incompatibility with how sound hardware is initialised by the two operating systems-- I've been running Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro 4,1 for over a year now, and it seems as soon as I got sound working in Ubuntu (long ago), it stopped working in os x. Quite simply, it's not in my output devices anymore -- just "Digital Out", with no controls. Oddly, though, sound does work fine in mac os when using headphones. Does anyone know what might cause this behavior? Is a reinstall of mac os necessary? James |
