After you install the driver, edit in your xfree86/xorg (can't remember what FC4 uses), and find the place where it says:

Section "Device"

And change the driver from "ati" to "fglrx"

i posted in a different forum and thats wht they told me to do in order to get enemy territory to work

can somone please tell me me where xfree86/xorg is?

On FC4, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

check ati.com ..they came up with updated graphics & all...they are pretty simple now..u can even use fglrxconfig & configures good (writes a fresh /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it fails..gointo console mode...delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf & run $setup to switch back to default graphics from kernel drivers...
after u install driver..probly u need to compile the fglrx modules (would be in /lib/modules/fglrx) & insert that module
& remove DRM from kernels, but enable agpgart module

well i opened xorg.conf and it says the driver is "flgrx" which is what i was told to make to allow eney territory to run... but it already says it...

if i run flgrx.conf in kedit this is what it says...

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Driver "fglrx"

is that what it should say or what?

and when i try to run it using et +set r_allowSoftwareGL
the game actually opens but it is soooooo slow its almost impossible to do anything

how do i do all of that?

thats a good ATI howto...
everything described there...follow it carefully & enjoy great FPSes!!

if i follow those instructions will it fix my problem?

this is what i get wheni try to run enemy territory (the reason im posting in linux forums)

Cant say that...dont know ur exact card name & if its supported by ati linux drivers.
