I just installled Fedora 8 .
I want to ask how can i install the driver for my x1950 pro ati.
i hav tried the latest ati-driver-installer-8.43.3-x86.x86_64.run from ati.com. But it dont work at all.
I even cannot start the Catalyst Center!!

And I tried kmod-fglrx too. It dont work too.

So far, I still cannot use Desktop-effects. Is it because the display card hav not yet been installed?

Had anyone succeeded in installing driver for it? Please tell me.
Is it only the problem in Fedora 8? Is it work in fedora 7?

The newest has just been released a few days ago:

http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...ux-radeon.html

Do not be confused by the version number as AMD/ATI has changed the version numbering scheme, Catalyst 7.12 is newer then the older 8.43.3 installer:

I did download the newest one.
But it is not working too.
At the website just hav x1900 series. But my one is x1950.

What do you mean by not working???? How did you install it???

Please post the output from the following typed commands;

fglrxinfo
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

in the fglrxinfo, it show ATI driver right. but in the Display settings,
it is still unknown ~=.=
and i still cant run desktop-effects and others compiz..bababa.

The ATI driver is installed and working, the Display settings should also show that you are in fact running with this driver. Clicking on the Hardware Tab--> Video card Configure button you should see something like:

fglrx - Vendor-supplied driver for fglrx cards

As for desktop-effects see: http://www.howtoforge.com/compiz-fus...ty-radeon-9200
