mmm.. i found out the truth.<br>i write this just for information (probably most of you already know it but it can be useful to post it anyway).<br><br>catalyst 9.3 and earlier drivers don&#39;t support x 1.6 and catalyst 9.4 doesn&#39;t support a bunch of older radeon cards (as mine).<br>
This means the only option one has is to downgrade to ubuntu 8.10.<br><br>M<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/14 Marco Donnarumma <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:devel@thesaddj.com">devel@thesaddj.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
