Comment 2 for bug 1064192

Well, I assume you've done a manual installation of the .run file. In this case I strongly recommand to read the software-providers documentation b4. I've fighted my way through it a few years ago (Ubuntu 7.04 days).

A manual installation does _NOT_ pull in the required package-dependencies automatically. My bad - it took me quite a while to understand this then. If you are not willing to read the documentation - Just don't do it.

You'll need at least the kernel-headers-generic, DKMS, build-essential, xserver-xorg-dev. If you are stilll interested there might be a chance you can ask someone more experienced at your local Ubuntu Community. Probably there is which would even be better a local community wiki. Manual installation sometimes is o.k. Low graphics mode puts you in vesa-graphics state (repair mode).

This is one of the reasons why i placed this bug. Please don't misunderstand me, per favore: This platform is for bugreporting, it's not a help-forum. B U T you gave me an idea: I'll ask the X-swat-Team to provide a version for testing in advance via ppa-x-updates. It won't be there by the next days, because atm the experts are at he UDS-R.

I know at least 3 persons near your location that use+like Ubuntu, _and_ are quite good experts & helpful enthusiasts. CIAO
