O.K. I manage to install Ubuntu 8.10 and the ATI Readon HD 2400 pro PCI-E driver yesterday and it worked because I have compiz installed but after I updated my system with all the package updates, I restarted my system and my ATI Driver was disabled! I try to enable it from the Hardware drivers with it doesn't work activate anymore :'( it just says downloading 0% then the window closes.

oh and I tried "glxgears" and this is what it gave me


psplegendpro@psplegendpro-desktop:~$ glxgears

psplegendpro@psplegendpro-desktop:~$ 

I'm not sure maybe a bad package update?
