Hi,

I have downloaded the 3 XFree86 Version of the ATI Driver and the Org Driver too.

The check.sh script which should determine which XFree86 Version I have, is not working. It says something about Root rights of the console despite the fact that I am loggt in as root.

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.


Despite the fact that I didn't know about the XFree86 Version, I just picked one. So I installed with the command "rpm -i fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm"

The result was:
make.sh: line 46: gcc: command not found
make.sh: line 52: [: !=: unary operator expected
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/X11R6/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 is too small, not checked.

Well damn it.
Then I installed the Org version of ATI driver:
rpm -i fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm

But it says now:
error: Failed dependencies:
fglrx_4_3_0 conflicts with fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1


Damn it. How do I delete the other conflicting package?

Despite all this crap, do i use rpm the way it should be?

Thanks

You would have to do

rpm -ivh --force filename

then after it installs run fglrx-config and set it up to your video card!

Better know the vert/horizontal thingys of your monitor!

@cereal83,

First it seemed to work. I could see some progress bar running, but it ended with the same result and errors. I tried the same command with X.Org driver and it was still in conflict with XFree86 4.3.

Any comment?

Thanks
Houmie
