Hello all,
ATI graphics card owners may have noticed that ATI recently have released a driver for Xorg 6.8. Has anyone successfully installed the driver on Fedora Core 3 with kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 or know of any info?
URL please? I have a 9200SE
FYI: The open-source driver for your card already supports DRI.
Go to http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html select linux x86 or x86-64 and click on "go" button near lower right corner.
There you can download the driver, yes. But
- you need to compile a kernel module - it does not compile with the current fedora update kernel - it installs files in the system that are not managed by rpm (earlier or later that can lead to problems?) - it conflicts with a RPM from Core - it puts evil things like
if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ] then if ! set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep /usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules > /dev/null then LD_LIBRARY_PATH= $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules export LD_LIBRARY_PATH fi else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules export LD_LIBRARY_PATH fi
into you /etc/profile and will never remove them (AFAIK).
All things that don't happen with the package from livna ;-)
