I've just bought new laptop ASUS K42J with no OS pre-installed. I had installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it. Everything is fine excluding video card performance - it looks like wide screen pulled on horizontal. I had checked monitor preferences - there is appears only one resolution 1024x768 4:3.

As far as I understood it a driver's issue. There weren't any problems during installations - open-source driver has been installed automatically. I'd tried to check "additional drivers" section, but it doesn't offer me any additional drivers for installation.

I had downloaded the driver from here but now I don't know how to istall it on Ubuntu. I'm newbie on Linux and irt looks a bit complicated for me :) I tried some tricks mentioned on another posts but with no result. I'll be very appriciated for any help.

open a terminal and change to the directory where the downloaded file has been saved change to root user

sudo su

then run the downloaded file(this is the one installed, your version might have another name)

./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run

follow the prompts and all should be well
