The flight to obstacles of the airone

The release of Hardy Heron with to the support from amd/ati to the cards of the series x1300/x1550 has represented for the undersigned a strong push to the abandonment of the version “antismanettamento” of windows (seen) on my PC desktop, in favour exactly of the airone. In fact, to part the considerations, in wide part condivisibili, of “ethical” order simil Stalmann, pressed not to have to me to support the renunciation to the acceleration 3D with all this that it involves.

I have thought: “I will not have problems to shape my Sapphire ati radeon x1550 from 512 Mb since it is supported from the last driver owners”. Nothing more mistaken; I have tried all the possible and imaginable guides, installations with Envy, the tool put on hand from ubuntu, from script, with packages generated purposely for hardy, but nothing, the result is a solo: black screen before the shielded one of login. To the state they puts into effect does not exist possible solutions, or better there is: to buy a beautiful one nVidia.  Perhaps among other things the x1550 it has given a beautiful P2o to me of grattacapi also during the sight installation, would be opportune that the ati it made the things with a minimum of attention in more.
