Comment 20 for bug 311748

I'm sorry there is no option to disable graphic-cards in my bios (which is the latest version V207), it's a very compact bios. I tried to install the closed source driver from AMD/ATI on ubuntu but couldn't get it to work. The first time i booted mandrive from harddisk, it said that X couldn't be started, Mandriva then comes with a tool to install drivers, Mandriva downloaded some driver and then i could change some settings about my hardware configuration and press test. After some configuration it succeeded. It would be nice if Ubuntu came with a utility like this, so you never end up with a blinking cursor in the shell.
