Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 is displaying the desktop okay (though limited to 1600x1200) after my having installed my new HD 6970 card, so I'm now trying to install the proprietary driver (I understand the open source one requires a more recent kernel than that in Maverick).
The proprietary driver under 'Additional Drivers' resulted in a black screen on…
The driver is ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver.
After clicking Activate, it asks for my password and starts downloading.
Then it shows an error message:

Once done that with help of the "Boot-Repair" I changed it to the UEFI and disabled the secure boot mode.…

I've read other people's questions about this and I know it has to do with enabling nomodeset. This worked for…
