I recently replaced my old ati radeon x600 pro graphics card with a radeon X1950 Pro and ubuntu doesn't like it.
It goes thought startup and displays the Ubuntu splash screen when that has finished loading it then comes up with an error.
"Failed to start x server it is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to see x server output to diagnose the problem."
The problem is the fact that its a new card
After okaying that i am presented with the text version which i need to login to. I Know that i need to change something but am not sure what and what to
help. _________________ Playstaion Network Name y4x My Blog

I'm having trouble with my server. It's set up as a file server and torrent box. It's Gentoo amd64.
At some point GTK+ got dragged in as a dependency for something and now it's giving me crap. I just sync'd portage and ran
Code:
emerge -avDN world
and it ran nicely until it got to GTK+ whereupon it died with
Code:
emake || die "compile failed"
. So I tried again with the same result. Then I tried masking the current version (2.10.14) to see if an older version (2.10.13) would work. It didn't, the same thing happened. So I thought "fine, I don't need GTK anyway" and proceeded to unmerge every package that has GTK+ as a dependency and stuck -gtk+ in my make.conf. It still wanted to build GTK+ so I ran
Code:
equery depends x11-libs/gtk+
and the only thing it returned was GCC, so I re-emerged that (recompiling my compiler, oh joy ) with the useflag -gtk, and yet GCC still turns up when I run the above equery. So how do I free my system from GTK+ so I can actually update the bloody thing. EDIT: Wait, no it seems Java needs GTK, and Azureus need Java, so actually I need GTK to work. Bah. Help anyone?
EDIT: Nevermind a reboot and a revdep-rebuild fixed it _________________ My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandal
Quick question for you all.
I just found that 50 megabyte mini writable cd that PCG gave out ages ago, and I recall that someone suggested using it as a bootable linux disc.
I had a quick search and there seems to be quite a few versions that have a small enough footprint to fit on the cd, but I was hoping someone could recommend one (and hopefully provide a link to an idiot's guide to installing it).

It was Damn Small Linux that every one was putting on those things. _________________ My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandal
