 Newb Open source ATI Driver Mobility x700
Hi I am trying to get improved graphics on my Ati Radeon Mobitily X700,on jaunty. So I followed the instructions for installing the open source ATI drivers. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver. But on restarting X server I get an error saying it is running in low graphics mode and gives me option to repair or view the errors etc.

>From the logs it fails in the ""Undefined InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" referenced by ServerLayout "Default Layout"."
I referenced this out and then it failed in the mouse section.

How do I find out what the input device settings are?
Thanks
