1) Download the rpm from ATI Drivers version 3.9.0 for XFree 4.3.0:
http://ati.com/support/drivers/linu...=8&submit=GO%21
2) Download the Fedora Core 2 patch in attached file, and copy it in /tmp. This patch is a compilation of FC2 and mm patches.
3) Go to a true console mode (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1).
4) Login as root.
5) Shutdown Xwindow:
Code:
init 3
6) Install ATI driver:
Code:
cd /tmp
rpm -Uvh --force fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm
7) Unzip the patch:
Code:
gunzip fglrx-3.9.0-fc2-2.6.6.patch.gz
Go to the ATI driver source directory, and apply the patch:
Code:
cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
patch -p1 < /tmp/fglrx-3.9.0-fc2-2.6.6.patch
9) Compile and install the ATI driver:
Code:
sh make.sh
cd ..
sh make_install.sh
Note if you are using a SMP kernel, you have to add an additionnal link before compiling the ATI driver:
Code:
ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435 /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435smp
You'll have to adapt the kernel version number according to yours.
10) Config the drivers:
Code:
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org
fglrxconfig
ln -sf /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now you have to edit the new xorg.conf file ; you can use nano , vi, mc, or any other text editor in console mode.
Copy the mouse, keyboard, and monitor sections of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org file into the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Then you need to put
Code:
Option "Xkbrules" "xorg"
in the keyboard section of the xorg.conf file.
Finally, to correct a little Xv problem you need to put
Code:
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
in the device section (i.e. the ATI driver part).
11) Restart Xwindow
Code:
init 5
Everything should work fine. Any feedback on this how-to is appreciated [url][/url] |
