Hello,
I'm trying to customize my BackTrack4 image so I can use the live disk with my ati graphic card. While trying to put the drivers with the apt-get install ati-driver command, I get the following message:

I tried everything that I could find searching the net, but I couldn't solve the problem. Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?

Thanks.

hi,

this error just means package ati-driver_9.5-bt2_i386.deb can't be installed through some errors.

Don't run X11 if you install new X11-core/graphic related libraries (press ctrl+alt+backspace) and try to install again with command
dpkg --force -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ati-driver_9.5-bt2_i386.deb

If it still not working, you have to enable a more verbose output, like
dpkg -D1 -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ati-driver_9.5-bt2_i386.deb
or
dpkg -D40 -i /var/cache/apt/archives/ati-driver_9.5-bt2_i386.deb

Its a bug - check BT4 bugs, try to live now without ati driver and wait until it gets a fix
