http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto

can someone tell me step by step to install ATI driver on hoary? because I try from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/BinaryDriverHowto and I fell not work.....please

here is how i installed mine :

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-<your-kernel-version> xorg-driver-fglrx

then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Look for your Device section. And change the Driver from ati to fglrx and add
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

here is my part :

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9800 Pro (R350 NH)"
	Driver		"fglrx"
	BusID		"PCI:3:0:0"
        Option "backingstore" "true"
        Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection

dont worry about the busid as it wont be the same

THATS IT

"sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-<2.6.10-5-386> xorg-driver-fglrx"

so I write this on my terminal ?

noo without the < >

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-restricted-modules-2.6.10-5-386 xorg-driver-fglrx


NOTE: before you could install these you have to enable universe and multiverse repositories

http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories

so how can I know if my 3D has been enable or not? or I must restart first?
I usually do fgl_glxgears, glxgears, and glxinfo to test....is it same with ubuntu?

yes its the same

you have to restart the X server first

by pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE

then type fglrxinfo

root@ubuntu:/home/edo # fgl_glxgears
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 145 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 32
Current serial number in output stream: 32

why is that?

the problem had been solved......thanx

This actually worked without any problems. I have tried to get my ATI card working on Suse 9.2 and Debian Sarge and Sid without even being close to success. I have followed all the Howtos a came across. And now, after 3 minutes, it was working, 3D and all

Thanks

For the record.. Now I'm running Ubuntu.
So far it's looking great.

no problem , i am glad that it worked for both of you
