1. Go to 'Start Menu > Run' and type 'cmd', and click OK:
   
   
   
   
2. For the next step, we'll use the Windows Command Prompt; this will prepare you for similar tasks we'll perform in Linux later on. Enter the following commands, hitting Return after each line:
   
   
   cd \downloads
   
   wubi.exe --32bit
   
   
   
   
   
3. When the Ubuntu Installer appears, leave the default options as they are unless you have a reason to change them, enter a username (your current Windows username will probably be chosen automatically), and enter a password in both boxes provided. You must remember your username and password, you'll be using these to login to your Ubuntu desktop, and may be prompted for your password when making changes to your operating system while in the Linux environment.
   
   
   
   
4. Now let the installer download the Ubuntu ISO (disc image) to your hard disk, which will be around 700MiB in size, let it prepare the installation, and then reboot your computer when prompted.

1. When your computer reboots, you'll see you have a Boot Menu which you may not have had before, if you only had a single Windows installation previously. Before the countdown timer expires, select Ubuntu from the list, and hit Enter.
   
   
   
   
2. You'll now see some messages on screen, and the first will be:
   
   'Press 'ESC' to enter the menu ... x'.
   
   Don't press Escape, just let the countdown expire. Ubuntu's animated splash screen should then appear, and an automated installation process will be carried out. Just let this run it's course (it shouldn't take too long, possibly just a few minutes if your system is fast enough), and when done your computer will automatically reboot again.
   
   
3. When you're presented with your new Boot Menu, select Ubuntu again, and this time you should eventually be presented with a rather nice graphical login screen. Enter the username and password you chose when you ran Wubi, pressing Enter each time.

1. Click the Firefox icon on the GNOME Main Menu Bar (the top panel):
   
   
   
   
2. Visit http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx and choose your graphics card, select 'Linux x86' > 'Radeon', and click 'Display Results':
   
   
   
   
3. Next, click the Download button on the resulting page, and save the 'ati-driver-installer-10-6-x86.x86_64.run' file to your hard disk (by default, your /home/username/Downloads folder). Also click the Installer Instructions link, which will open a PDF document which you can read through. This openBVE help guide will give you the necessary instructions to install the driver however:
   
   
   
   
4. Once the file is downloaded, it will likely be within your 'home/username/Downloads' folder. First, open this folder, by going to 'Places > Downloads' (you should see the driver there):
   
   
   
   Next, we need to run the installer, and for this, we need to use the Terminal (you can think of it as being the equivalent of the Command Prompt in Windows). On your Main Menu Bar, select 'Accessories' > 'Terminal':
   
   
   
   
5. Your desktop should now look as it does in the following screenshot. At the terminal prompt (which will be <username>@<computername>:~$ ), enter the following line (you can copy and paste the filename of the driver you downloaded by right-clicking it's icon, choosing Properties from the context menu, right-clicking the highlighted filename in the Name editbox, and selecting Copy. Then go to the terminal window, and press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste the filename where appropriate. Don't forget to replace <username> with your own username! Thus:
   
   
   sudo sh /home/username/Downloads/<replace_with_your_downloaded_driver_filename>
   
   
   Note: In Unix based operating systems, case sensitivity matters - the uppercase D in Downloads is important! The sudo (su "do") command lets you execute the installer as superuser (you can think of it as being like running an application as an Administrator in Windows), hence, you'll be prompted for your password; type it in, and hit Enter:
   
   
   
   
6. Stuff will happen in the Terminal window, and after a few moments, the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Setup window will appear. Select "Install Driver x.xxx on X.Org 7.4 and later releases", and click Continue:
   
   
   
   
7. Select 'Automatic', and click 'Continue':
   
   
   
   
8. The driver will now be automatically installed, and when done you'll see the following message (write it down if you like). Then, just click Exit:
   
   
   
   
9. Now, click on your username in the upper right of the screen, and restart your computer:
   
   
   

1. From the GNOME Main Menu Bar, select 'ATI Catalyst Control Centre':
   
   
   
   
2. If you cannot find a menu item named 'ATI Catalyst Control Center', instead, you can open a terminal window, type the following command, and press Enter:
   
   
   amdcccle
   
   
   
   
   
3. When the Catalyst Control Centre appears, click the Anti-Aliasing entry on the left, check 'Override application setting', and choose your level of anti-aliasing. Click 'Apply' when done:
   
   
   
   
4. Click the Anisotropic Filtering entry on the left, check 'Override application setting', and choose your level of anisotropic-fltering. Click 'Apply' when done:
   
   
   

Now click OK, to exit the Catalyst Control Centre.

1. From the GNOME Main Menu Bar (the top panel), select 'System' > 'Administration' > 'Hardware Drivers':
   
   
   
   
2. The Hardware Drivers window will appear. Choose the version marked [Recommended], and then click 'Activate':
   
   
   
   You may now be prompted for your password; enter it and continue.
   
   
3. Now, click on your username in the upper right of the screen, and restart your computer:
   
   
   
   

1. From the GNOME Main Menu Bar, select 'System' > 'Administration' > 'NVIDIA X Server Settings':
   
   
   
   
2. Click the 'Anti-Aliasing Settings' entry on the left, place a tick in both 'Override Application Setting' checkboxes, and choose your level of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. Click 'Quit' when done:
