    which version of XFree86 I am using?

    I have an ATI 9600SE graphic card. I am trying to install the Linux driver from ATI. I followed the instruction, run the check.sh (sh check.sh) to determine which XFree86 I am using and get the following messege.

    ================================================== ===================
    ATI Technologies
    ================================================== ===================
    Your possibly not running this script from the console
    or maybe you simply dont have the console ownership.
    Unable to determine XFree86 Version. Stopping now.

    I logged in as root.

    Please advise.

    Thanks

    Check the version of the rpm:
    Code:
    rpm -q xorg-x11
    Fedora has switched to the xorg fork of xfree, if that makes a difference.

    What is your OS? Are you running Fedora Core 2?

    Back in RedHat 9 days, this would have worked:
    rpm -q XFree86

    If you are running FC2, the command should have worked as previously posted.

    You do have X-windows installed and running, right?
    Explore the Core!
