Dear all,

I had installed Centos 4.2 on my Dell Optiplex GX620. Since it has a Pentium Dual Core CPU, I installed Centos 4.2 x86_64.

Obviously, startx hung.

I downloaded and installed XFree86 version 4.3.0 and downloaded the ATI Proprietary Linux x86_64 Display Driver for Motherboards with ATI Graphics (fglrx64_6_8_0-8.22.5-1.x86_64.rpm).

When I build the module, it fails. I am copying the exact error message below. I have been stumbling in making xserver for the past 2 days, but no luck. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me in this regard.

==============================
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.

Hi,

I haven't touched the pentium family in a long time, but .x64 normally refers to athlon AMD64 chipset, not pentium. If you want dual cpu then you want to install the smp version and i386. (some one else please reply if i'm wrong about pentium using x64)

Second I believe that centos uses xorg as its main display package now not xfree86 so what ever you're doing with xfree86 is probably incorrect.

As I say I haven't really used pentiums so I could be wrong but take a look into that for a start.

Also centos is a free version on redhat enterprise rather than fedora so you might have more luck in that distro forum.

Good luck

Simon
