Can't get Radeon 9600 working with Fedora
I appologise for this stupid question but I am a total newbie to Linux. Anyway I am trying to get my ATI Radeon 9600 card to work on Feodra Core 3 (2.6.9-1.667 kernel and X.Org) so I download the RPMs from the ATI website and they don't seem to be working. Anyone feel like helping an idiot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

after running the rpm did you do this
The next step is to Configure your X server: fglrxconfig Answer all the questions fglrxconfig asks you, and then it will write a new xorg.conf or XF86Config-4 in /etc/X11. Now, let's get back into X with this command: |
after you run fglrxconfig what does fglrxinfo say

Thanks for the tips. I'm at school at the moment but I'll try it when I get back home. :)

It didnt work. It asked me alot of questions to do with my computers hardware. Sorry I'm such a n00b but what does it all mean? Thanks. :)

First make a back up copy of your xorg.conf then after running fglrxconfig
fglrxconfig should do this for you but if not rename the created file to xorg.conf and put it in /etc/x11 the questions fglrxconfig should be straight forward just read the instructions it tells you. Most of the time you can keep the default so just hit enter. im also a noob somewhat so i may be wrong but this is what i did to get my 9800 pro working |
