Hello,
I have an ATI Radeon HD2600XT graphics card, and am trying to install a win based game on my debian 4.0 using wine, as part of the whole troubleshooting i've ended up that i should check if the driver for my graphics card is installed, and if it's not could anyone please tell me how to install it or guide me to the right direction
other info that might be needed:
CPU: AMD64 6400+
RAM: 4Ghz

you can find the driver you are using in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
you should have a section
Section "Device"
and in the section
Driver "fglrx"

if you are not sure, post the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

this is what the Device section shows

Quote:

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc ATI Default Card"
Driver "vesa"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

and there is no section Driver "fglrx"
so if am not wrong the driver is not installed
could you please tell me how to install it?

yes
you don't have the right driver
the vesa driver is a default for most cards when you don't have the driver
google on how to install ati drivers for your distribution.
it's different for each distribution
i use opensuse 10.3 so i don't know what you do in debian
sorry
