Hi everyone,
If you have an ATI graphics card please vote for the following bugzilla.
http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28094

Issues are :

The ATI drivers provided with the 2007 Powerpack edition (i586) are incomplete.
(8.28.8-2mdv2007.0 )

The following items are missing/not being created at all.

In /usr/bin
1.aticonfig
2.flg-glxgears (pbuffer test)
3.fglrxinfo
4.fglrx_xgamma
5.fireglcontrolpanel soft link points to /usr/sbin fireglcontrolpanel

in /usr/sbin
1.fireglcontrol
2. fireglcontrolpanel softlink points to fireglcontrol

This leaves everyone unable to create a custom duel-head configuration. Both
initially no aticonfig and no control panel to make gui adjustments. There is
also no way to run the pbuffer test without fgl_glxgears.

The same problem exists with the script provided by Mandriva that is being
packaged with the drivers on ATI's site. If you use the --buildpackage command
to create a Mandriva rpm the same items listed will be missing.

./ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg

Thank you

Only 3 people besides me have voted on this bug so far.. I hope a few more with ATI cards will vote.
It not only affects the drivers supplied with Mandriva's Powerpack/Discovery but also affects those that
download the new drivers and try building a Mandriva RPM with --buildpackage.. Let's face it the last thing ATI's drivers need is another bug Surely it's can't that be hard to re-write the script. Other distro's supplied scripts build a proper package.

I agree. It is frustrating. I have tried loading the 8.33.6 drivers and
it is the same story. I have been successful with Fedora and Ubuntu. TX

I checked on the status yesterday and noticed that it had been assigned to Gwenole Beauchesne.
Hopefully there will be good news soon.

I just noticed that PLF has the 8.33.6 drivers in their 2007.1 repository you could try those.
