An integrated ATI ES1000 SVGA video controller supporting True-color graphics in the following resolutions, 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, and 1600 x 1200. $ sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop network-manager
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gnome-shell Here's what I've done so far to metamorphosize ubuntu server-minimal into one with a gui: Our server is an HP Proliant D元80 G7, and lspci reports:Ġ1:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices nee ATI ES1000 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 )Using the "preferred" method of self, automagic configuration, I'm just getting dropped into the proverbial "There is a problem with your display" message with several not-very-helpful options, just after lightdm comes up, but all before I'm granted a greeter.
is really not helpful in any way, although it at least attempts to document the situation. :) Problem is that support for ATI cards seems to be moving more towards a wasteland with each successive release of ubuntu. Our needs require that we have a gui, so I decided to go with gnome-shell since it's just so darn pretty.
Note that you'll want to disable the motherboard graphics as soon as you get the NVidia one installed you'll want the system to boot up entirely on the NVidia card.Building up an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server for my job The default free driver is pretty limited. Once you have an NVidia card, it looks like the instructions here will help you get the right driver loaded. You can spend more money on something better if you want, but for a server, these are likely to be just fine. Neither of these cards is at all fast they'll be okay for 2D, but very bad at 3D. If you want something recent, this 8400 is $37.
Pretty much any NVidia card should work okay.
Their drivers aren't open-source, but they work very well. Unfortunately, that's not what you have, and you can't get Intel graphic cards it has to be on the motherboard. As long as you don't need to game, that's the best choice. they're slow, but Intel themselves provide drivers, so they work really well. The chips that are easiest to support are the Intel motherboard chips. It's finally starting to get a little better, as ATI has finally released documentation, but it's got a long way to go. Graphics are supported in the following resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600,ĪTI support under Linux is atrocious. Maximum resolution is 1600x1200 with 65,536 colors true-color This is what it claims you have:Īn integrated ATI ES1000 2D graphics controller with 16 MB of graphics Here is a partial copy and paste of all the ATI ES 1000 hardware IDs supported by.
