Recently I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 and upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. I had tried the Live CD first to make sure that video and sound will work. After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04, for some apparent reasons it did not liked the ATI driver and it wanted to run in low graphics mode. I had to restart X on each boot. To fix the problem I went to google to search for any available solutions and I found one. So, here is what worked for me:
- Open Terminal, and run the following command: sudo apt-get purge fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev
- Now run the following command: sudo rm -r /etc/ati
- Now run: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
- Now run: rm -rf /usr/share/ati
- Now open Synaptic and install fglrx package. If the installation fails then run sudo apt-get install -f in a Terminal window.
- Now run the command: sudo aticonfig --initial
- Now reboot your computer and the graphics should be working now.

hi, have u tried to boot from the 10.04 live cd? did u tried to boot in the rescue mode? i believe the keyboard and mouse stops to respond when u boot in the normal mode.
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ is the place where u'll find the solution. search the forum and post ur problem there. i also found the solution to my problem there.
yes, when i tried to boot from normal mode mouse and keyboard stops...
i don't know what is boot in the rescue mode?
when grub loads press the esc key to get the hidden boot menu, from there select the option which says Recovery Mode. did u tried to boot from the ubuntu 10.04 live cd? i tried it before I upgraded to ensure it will work when installed.
i tried with live cd, after loading desktop keyboard and mouse are not working.....
then probably its some kind of issue with ur hardware configuration. do u have a spare mouse and a keyboard to test if it works?
the best option is to post ur problem on the ubuntu forum and may b sum1 from the ubuntu team responds.
give details abt hardware configuration and if u have a USB keyboard and mouse or not and also mention that keyboard and mouse did not worked with the live cd as well.
do u have some kind of multimedia keyboard and mouse or its a standard keyboard and mouse?
mouse and keyboard working fine with 9.10, i have normal keyboard and mouse. i m already post this problem in forum also, i did not get any solution.....(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9231284#post9231284),i m using IBoll key board. Mouse and Keyboard r not working with LIVE CD also....
