never mind. I got it fixed. How do I get all the drivers to work?? I want to get the cool Cube desktop


I downloaded the ATI linux driver, but it won't open. It keeps on telling me

Could not open the file /home/stefan/Desktop/ati…er-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run.
gedit has not been able to detect the character coding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character coding from the menu and try again.

So Gi, how is linux so far? I'm going to put this comp on it after I upgrade to C2D. So I don't have to buy another Windows copy. Run faster, less errors, games faster?

Or do you not know any of this yet due to troubleshooting?

I like it so far, more stable and much faster than vista...the only problem is, I can't get a video driver for the x1400 video card...

in a console: sudo program

Also look at the packages in debian, synaptic should have the latest workable ATI driver ready to install.

Prolly this will be more usefull
