ATI FGLRX 3.7.0 work with Xorg and XFree 4.4!

asmbubba · 05-14-2004, 05:14 AM

Yes I compiled it, but I didn't install it on top of an existing installation or anything. I didn't give the driver a real rigorous test or anything either. I just started x, everything went smoothly and then ran glxgears to make sure my framerates were ok. Im not much of a gamer btw; I just like my screensavers to run smoothly

Glad to help :-D

Go get Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory... And I'll meet you in the forward bunker

As an update to make this post somewhat worthwhile, the same exact config works for me with the nvidia nforce2 chipset on my new Asus A7N8X-X board, as well.

Can you please elaborate on:
2) where do I get the dri radeon driver?
3) which kernel do I recompile, the /lib/module/fglrx/build_mod or /usr/src/linux

Please HELP!!!
