[plug] Ok, what have I done wrong now.

[Lee Jamieson]

Hi all.

I've installed Kubuntu recently and originally had no problem with it.
 Now I have a ATI video card which, in the first instance allowed me
to have a 12**x1*** resolution, but at 60hz, which was annoying; as
there was noticeable flicker on the screen.  I initially tried
downloading the ati driver from ati and followed the instructions to
set it up.

Now I'm looking at 640x480.  I can't change the resolution to anything
higher -only lower.

I tried installing the ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run that I'd
downloaded by doing:

lee at lees:~/Temp$ sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run

this is the result:


Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux
Driver-8.30.3................................ (many more dots here)
-e ===================================
-e ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
-e ===================================
./ati-installer.sh: 991: Syntax error: Bad substitution
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
lee at lees:~/Temp$ 991: Syntax error: Bad substitution

I am not sure what that error message is about as there's nothing on
the ati KB about that particular error.

Any suggestions, help or RTFM! :P would be very much appreciated.
