Small introduction: Ati Radeon 9800SE 128MB 256bit (R350) Distribution: Mandrake 9.2 [root@wilu Programy]# uname -a Linux wilu 2.6.10-cko3 #1 Sun Jan 9 21:19:31 CET 2005 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux I placed untared kernel source in /usr/src and did symlink: ln -s linux-2.6.10 linux Afterwards I checked my XFree86 ver: ===================================================================== ATI Technologies ===================================================================== XFree86 Version 4.3.0 is installed. I downloaded suitable driver: fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm Then i changed in /etc/inittab the line: #id:5:initdefault: #to id:3:initdefault: Instalation: [root@wilu Programy]# rpm -Uhi --force fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm and i get: Quote:

Where did you get you kernel source from ?
You will need the kernel source provided by Mandrake instead of the one found in www.kernel.org. Alternatively, you can compile an unpatched kernel first, an re-try the ATI installation later. |
Kernel source i got from kernel.org but on original 2.4.22.10-mdk kernel which was installed during system installation ati-drivers also didn't work, i had the same problem, there was no hardware acceleration, fglrxinfo was giving the same info like now.
I patched 2.6.10 mainly because it doesn't have supermount function but i suppose on not patched kernel the problem will remain. Any other suggestions? |
Drop the i in -Uh
at least thats what ATI says the command is. You're only updating the driver, not installing it. :) Not sure what else it could be. |
