Talk:Ubuntu Gutsy Installation Guide

Updated some information only applicable for Gutsy
I've updated some minor details about the fglrx-installation in Gutsy: Jealma 04:35, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 * By default, Gutsy (and Feisty too) now have Universe and Multiverse enabled
 * The fglrx-version in Gutsy's linux-restricted-modules is 8.37.6 and not 8.28.8

libGL error
sudo ln /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Long search, quick solution:

Note: I don't really know what this actually does in the context of a desired installation, so try at your own risk. I assume this being installed from my earlier Feisty installation where I tried out compiz and AIGLX was not supported by the driver.

After removing the xserver-xgl package, all problems described above vanished.

Maybe someone with more detailed knowledge might find it useful to add a paragraph to the page.
