Re: [PLUG] Graphics issues in ubuntu 15.04

About 5 years ago I had some Ubuntu graphics issues. It turns out Ununtu has a policy of only including FOSS drivers in their standard releases. While I tend to agree with this, both ATI & Nvidia use proprietary drivers to implement their best features. You will need to switch on Ubuntu's repository for proprietary drivers. I'm not sure but Ubuntu might overwrite the driver with the generic FOSS driver on update if this is not done.

Hope this helps.

hey everyone another stupid question here lol. im running ubuntu 15.04(im hoping all these bugs are worked out by 15.10) and have an ati radeon hd 6950 video card with 2g ram and i originally had 3 monitors hooked up that worked fine and than after i changed the driver (i cant remember which one it originally was) through the additional hardware option to try and get a game to work I can only get 2 monitors to work after rebooting. When I try to activate the third monitor it says theres not enough video memory (which i know isnt ture). Has anyone ever ran into an isse like this?
