Kubuntu 9.10 Karmik koala + Ati propietary drivers

[Guest]

Hi i've just installed karmik koala x64 dvd on an Acer Aspire 5535 (ATI Radeon HD 3200 vga) and it seems all is working smooth. The problem is, after apt-get update plus apt-get upgrade, when i launched jockey-kde (Hardware detector i think) and i tried to activate Ati propietary drivers. This small kde applications detects de presence of propietary drivers but they're like not selectable (unavailable) and they cannnot be activated, at least using this app. So i just looked into /etc/X11 and found no xorg.conf was there but X works fine. So i just created a small xorg.conf file like this one but X failed to start due to fglrx error.

Error says:

(EE) Failed to laod module fglrx (module does not exists, 0).
(EE) No drivers available

xorg.conf sample file:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection


Xorg version is 1.6.3

Do someone know what could i dot to get ati propietary drivers working? Thanks

Solved, i thouyght fglrx drivers were installed but it didn't and jockey_kde couldn't do it automagically without no existing xorg.conf file.
So creating a xorg.conf file with driver "ati" and then running jockey_kde solved the issue.

Thanks for the repply
