Hi,
I want to use mz Radeon 9700 Pro with 3D-Acceleration under Slackware Linux 9.1 but the installation of the ATI fglrx-driver fails because of some dependencies. Does anzbody know how to make 3D-acceleration work with Slack????

What are the dependancies its complaining about; what errors do you get? And foremost, do you have a fresh copy of your running kernel's source code. (the driver will need some of the header files).

bash-2.05b# rpm -Uhv --force ./fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:

wow, that's quite the list. You have two options. You can satisfy all the dependencies (ensure that /bin/sh exists, figure out why its not detecting libX11.so.6, etc) or you can execute the following:

rpm2cpio fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm | cpio -id

this will dump the packages contents into your current directory and you can install things manually. DO THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT THE REQUIRED LIBRARIES ARE INSTALLED.
Then copy the files (they'll be in respective ./usr, ./lib, etc directories) to their appropriate location. Also you will probably have to go into ./lib/modules/fglrx / and following the instructions compile your own kernel module. It's not hard though, there's two shell scripts you run that do the work for you.

Hope that helps,

** EDIT **
Sorry I forgot you're on a slackware system. Instead of the rpm2cpio stuff you could probably use rpm2tgz ...filename....rpm | tar -xvzf to extract the rpm's files.

Works fine now, found a tutorial in french... now I know why I'm learning it at school.
