ATI Install Steps
Following this guide using method 2: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
Downloaded the newest drivers: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run
Verify that the 'universe' and 'multiverse' are set. Using 'System -> Administration -> Software Sources'
dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open debian/changelog to find format: No such file or directory
Where are the *.deb files located?
Looking the processing above, I see that everything was put into the /tmp/ati_driver_installer directory.
It works, but I got the following warning:
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/70fglrx_32bit_dri': Directory not empty
I was told to do the following to get rid of old fglrx deb, but there are none.
Must verify after everything is done that the following links are present
sudo ln -sf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/fglrx.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/volatile/fglrx.ko
I will have to recompile, do the above steps again, for each new kernel update. Must keep an eye out for kernel updates.
I have not done the step to get around the soft links being delete.
Now it is time to reboot.
I now have some trash in two spots near and at the bottom of the screen. :-(
Looks like my links may have gotten blasted :-(
OK, I have put in the link fix. Rebooting.
Did not reboot. I had to force the machine to shutdown.
It has rebooted and now the trash is gone.
The trash is back :-(
What is the max resolution of my screen? 1280x800
Finally everything looks right and the trash seems to be gone for good.
I did all this so I could run XP in WMServer at the max host res of 1280x800, but I still cannot.

Video Driver
I seem unable to get the proper video resolutions.
This is a link to my hardware settings: http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Q106/BladeK8F/1013912Rsp2.shtml
My video card:
ATI RS485M
ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 Graphics with
up to 128 MB of Shared Video Memory
To see what Ubuntu sees: System ==> Preferences ==> Hardware Information
==> RS480 PCI Bridge ==> RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP]
See the correct card but doesn't sam RS485M
This is a link to a wiki for the proprietary drivers for ATI: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page
I am having trouble figuring this out.
RS480 is the PCI number.
Search on "Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP"
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542338
Found this page which refers to the chip as a Radeon Xpress 200M: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_chipset
The chip doesn't seem to currently support DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure)
Do I have to disable it when using fglrx?
Goggle has a Linux search: http://www.google.com/linux
Here is the Ubuntu install instruction for the ATI drivers: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu
fglrx is already installed.

Unable to Write CD??
For some reason I am unable to write CDs now. It work earlier :-(
Rebooting has solved my problem.
When I put the a blank CD in and it is working it will recognize the CD at which point I say ignore and than go to where is the ISO is located and write it directly to the CD.

Adding the Sansa e140 to HAL
Found the 10-usb-music-player.fdi file.
It has an entry for Sansa e130. Copied that. Changed the name to Sansa e140.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
stan@stan-laptop:~$
The vendor ID is the same; however, the product id has changed from 7301 to 7302.
Save file in ~\tmp
This is the link that I was getting my information from http://blog.pcode.nl/?p=176
Copying the new file to its correct location and rebooting:
stan@stan-laptop:~/tmp$ sudo cp 10-usb-music-players.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/
Password:
stan@stan-laptop:~/tmp$
I worked the icon has now changed to an mp3 player.
What does Banshee think of it now?
The setting are still wrong. It is trying to write Ogg files.
Delete the .files.
I crashed Banshee when I unmount the player outside of it and than tried to eject within Banshee.
Now Banshee sees nothing :-(

Banshee Problems
Banshee is really running slow.
The slowness seems to occur when I am creating a new song list or when I change the name of the song list.
CPU1 and CPU2 seems to swapping back and forth between each other, but one of the seems to always be at 100%.
I was going to try to use Banshee to copy the new Steven Curtis Chapman music over to my MP3 Player, however, it seem totally locked up.
Should I kill Banshee and started it again?
It is not responding. Forcing it to quite.
That was quick.
It come back quick also. But the new play list is missing as is the new audio that I just loaded.
Also the Sansa e140 is still set to encode to Ogg Vorbis which is not what I want. I want it to be mpeg.
