i tried it a couple of days ago with a mule-pc equipped with an ati 9200LE , install went fine at the first try !

good work ati ! keep going!

[AMD-Z]

excellent driver from ati!
finally installation is a breeze....

[asun]

Did you guys use the rpm or the ATI installer?

[ghenry]

I used the rpm.

[spc337]

What Kernel does this work with?

[asun]

How do I create the kernel module fglrx.ko out of the rpm?

[nbx909]

how do i see if it worked?

[Linux The Great]

Any bets as to whether or not this will work on my ATI Radeon Xpress 200m (notebook graphics).......

[ghenry]

It works with 2.6.11, when you install the RPM, it compiles the module for you.

It should also be in /lib/modules/fglrx but they may have changed that.

You see it works by installing the RPM, running fglrxconfig to generate a xorg.conf file, answering the right questions, or best guess and then logout of your machine (no need to reboot) and log back in.

To check it works, you should be able to log back in and then run fgl_glxgears and you should see a fancy 3d rotating box with gears on it similar to glxgears.

On a 9500 Pro (old I know) I get about 350~ fps

[michael@localhost ~]$ fgl_glxgears
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 142 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 32

ok i screwed up... Where is this RPM you guys are talking about? i installed using a .run...

Did anyone install it in FC4?
I did not manage to replace old Mesa OpenGL driver.

You must use the --force switch with rpm.

I get this after installing ati drivers with the installer:

[root@localhost installid]# fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.2.1)

I didn't notice that those drivers doesn't work with FC4's kernel.

I would uninstall installed drivers and do like Seehund suggested, but I don't find anywhere how to uninstall ati drivers that have been installed with the installer. Any suggestions?

[Knudson]

both the rpm and the installer doesn't work with my FC4 x86_64...that's bad T_T

it complains about a missin libGL.so.1
