I was trying to unlock the bootloader in my Atrix but I can't seem to get the fastboot to work.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. The adb works perfectly and when I run the fastboot command it gives me the list of syntax for it but when I try "./fastboot devices" it doesn't return anything. If I use sudo then it goes down to a new line and freezes. I'm assuming I need to edit something in rules.d but I don’t know how to get the proper information.
Any help would be great.

is your phone in fastboot mode? adb reboot fastboot

If it freezes at devices it can't see you phone. Make sure your phone says it started fastboot. Hold volume down while booting. When it says fastboot on the phone press volume up.

Well I tried running the unlock in fastboot mode last night.

./fastboot oem unlock
Waiting for devices.

That was as far as I got. My phone was in fastboot mode but it just wouldn't recognize it. I saw some other posts about it saying things about adding to rules.d but I need the right information for my phone.
