Ati X850 AGP drivers

Hello,
if you are using l-r-m (linux restricted modules) you shouldn't do that, because it
won't work.
I would suggest you check whether your system still using l-r-m, if not then you can try
a alternate driver.
To check whether l-r-m is installed run following command:
$ dpkg-query -l 'linux-restrict*'

To check whether your system still using such modules, run following command:
$ lsmod > lsmod.txt

Then go in the directory with l-r-m drivers:
$ cd /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.17-10-generic

Now compare the context from lsmod.txt with the content of the sub directories. You
do this with following command (you are still in the directory how above mentioned):

for i in `lsmod | tr -s " " " " | cut -d" " -f1`; do find . -name "${i}*"; done

Why you want install that driver? Have you any problems with the driver from Ubuntu?
Which type driver have you downloaded? Linux? It must be Linux!
I haven't found any Linux driver for ATI X850 AGP on www.ati.com.
