** Description changed:

  i have a ati radeon hd 4850 graphic card and run ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid)
  .First I installed the restricted driver by using the hardware drivers
  menu. After installation I reboot and try to check the extra radio
  button in the visual effects tab of the appearence preferences . I tried
  several times and came to the conclusion it didn't work.  So I
  downloaded the newest ati-driver on the amd-site. But the result stays
  the same! Then I install EnvyNG, and uncheck the "enabled" button next
  to the ati driver(8.543-0ubuntu4.1) and then reboot. Then I go  to the
  visual settings tab again (without re-enabling the driver) and i check
  the "extra' radio button. Ubuntu checks for available drivers and after
  re-enabling them, I got the " Desktop effects could not be enabled"
  error message again and I close the appearence preferences. And Then i
  got the fglrx-installer error message it said something like the driver
  crashed or something like that.
