Is this right for Working ATI driver
This is what I did and I just wanted to get someon's opinion. I'm just starting to get beyond being a beginner with unix/linux and just wanted some re-assurance, since I did not find any guides, so I did it myself.
1) I downloaded the kernel-headers just like when installing nvidia drivers. Is this really necessary? 2) Ran the ati installer (the 30 odd mb one) 3) edited XFree86.Config-4 to use driver "fglrx" but when I do "modprobe fglrx" i get nothing but glxinfo | grep rendering I get "direct rendering: yes" and glxinfo reveals my render string as 9800 pro generic and glxgears went from 300ish to 4500ish after I did steps 1-3 Is that what you'd expect from a 9800 pro that was fully 3d accelerated? |
Looks fine, but you should run the ATI Configuration utility (as root):
Code:
fglrxconfig |
Years back I tryed to get my 9600 to 3d accelerate, so I remember the fglrxconfig, but I was tried fglrx-configure and fglrx-config without success.
Thanks for jogging my memory. The new ati drivers really are a godsend. |
