[burakc89]

hi i have problem starting bt4 on my laptop
i installed it on usb but i get no screen error when i enter startx command
i tried apt-get install backtrack-ati command and installed the driver but this time i get a black screen when i start bt4
is there a solution to this?

Yep, if you would have searched the forum a little more, you would have found that the backtrack-ati package is broken. Also, searching for ati will lead you to a workaround for 2d modesetting of the card.

I only use ATI cards and have several so know that following the guide will work, no ati-stream though. But oh so ever beautiful hi-res.
