After the troubles I experienced with the current Matrox driver I decided to install an earlier release of Ubuntu. And so I did. I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on to my workstation and installing the Matrox driver went without any problem. Also updated all the packages and than proceeded with installing Eclipse.
I just need to install some more development tools again and I can start working on the website. To be continued..
Here’s what I have done so far to get my development server and workstation ready:
I tried installing the driver for my Matrox graphics card in my workstation, but it seems that the version of the X Server is too new. So I can either wait for Matrox to release a new version that will be compatible with the newer X Server or downgrade my X Server to a version that the driver does support. Or alternatively, I could just install an older version of Ubuntu all together.
