ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

Hi

Just re-installed Debian after a looong period without Linux (yikes!!!)

In the mean time, the old Nvidia card has been replaced with an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro.

Does anyone have a "ATI Radeon guiden on Debian for dummies" guide ? And here I mean a real "first do this..then" guide.

Thx.

Well, you can take a look at http://www.rage3d.com/content/articl...00000000000000

If that's too hard then reply and I'll interpret it in an easier way

Thx for your post, I got the driver installed using an installer. But still get error messages "No screens found"
What does my XF86Config-4 have to look like ?

This search recovered all that the debian linuxquestions forums has to offer as far as ati, radeon install and config how-tos. Enjoy.

The only thing I change as far as XF86 is the driver name to "fglrx". That is if it was properly configured in the first place.

post your XF86Config-4

It might be of use to post your Xfree log (/var/log/Xfree.0.log or something lke that) (or Xorg log if you use that).

EDIT: Oh, you should run fglrxconfig too after install to generate the special fglrx config file.
