I just installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux V4 64-bit version so I'm a noob. I've got all my other drivers working except for my video card. I have an ATI X700 Pro video card.

I downloaded the ATI Driver Installer 29.4MB. It is a .run file. I opened the terminal and went to the folder that the file is located in. I installed it with sh /. It installed successfully (automatic).

It said that it installed successfully. So I go to applications > ATI Control and get the following error message:

File GL Control

Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 extensions! Panel components will operate only partially.

It than opens up the ATI Control Panel but does not display any options.

Any suggestions

Did you restart X after installing the new driver (ctrl+alt+bkspace) ?

No, I do not think I did.

There was a discussion about the installation and support (I tried to install this on SUSE 10.2 but it is not SUSE specific problem).

I have put there the steps which way I installed the driver - including patch and so on for kernel 2.6.20.

You can download the tar.bz2 file unpack it and rebuild the driver yourself. Let me know if it worked or any help was needed.
