D101GGC with ATI chipset.

roonjha · 09-12-2006, 10:34 AM

Hi,

I am using FC 5.Everything is working fine on FC 5 except for the graphics.My ATI chipset is a RADEON xpress 200 series.The video video card is integrated ATI RC 410 on a D101 GGC mobo.I have tried various methods to install the driver but failed everytime.Right now I am running FC 5 with 'vesa' settings.I have tried the livna's driver by following the method given in fedorafaq site.I also have tried the 50 mb or so installer in the ATI's website by following the method given in the ATI's website.I have also tried it with the method given in the unofficial ATI linux driver wiki.but nothing is working for me.I want know that has anyone else who is using the same mobo with the same settings has tried to install these drivers on FC 5 and succeeded?if so please reply back with the method of installation.

I was one of the Linux testers on that board while at Intel (I wrote the alsa sound driver support for it). To install the Linux ATI drivers, you need to have either the kernel-source rpm or the kernel-devel rpm installed (kernel-smp-devel if you are running HT or dual core). The ATI driver from ATI's web site is compiled on the fly to match your kernel.

Hi,

I installed the driver after upgrading the kernel and installing the kenel-dev.After that I checked that whether it is installed correctly or not by entering the fglrxinfo | grep direct command it returned this:

Code:

fglrxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

Please help me solve this problem.

plz help me.

Are you running the 32 bit version of Fedora Core, or the x86_64 version? Make sure that the ATI driver you are installing is the same.

Beyond that, I don't have a system I can test the ATI driver installation on. I do know that it worked for me on Redhat 4 update 4, Novell SLED 10, and Mandriva 2006, the later two are my distros of choice.

Hi,

Thanks Gruemaster for ur help.The driver problem is solved.The SElinux was not letting the driver to be properly installed.I just had to change the SElinux status from "enforcing" to "permissive".

Dear all,
