im really having trouble installing the driver for my ATI HD 2600 series on fedora 6. i tried downloading the driver from www.amd.com but when i run the program the CCC appears in my applications menu but whan i click on it it does nothing. it seems that its not installed properly or notcompatible on my video card. how can i get a good driver for my video card to run BERYL
i did that but the result is
"sh: ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run: No such file or directory"
and i looked at the fglrx.log and this is the content "[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Error] Kernel Module : No kernel module build environment - please consult readme." what should i do?
im login as the root, the "ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run" ran, according to the instructions i should run " /usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig --initial " in the terminal but the aticonfig is not present in that directory, i cant find it anywhere
oh man! now when i use the web browser and scroll down its in slow motion! but evrythng seems to be fine. so now i have 2 problems the beryl and the slow motion scroll on the web browser.
oh man man!! eveything seems to be in slow motion, when i drag a window its moving in slow motion to! is it my video card? or just the settings? thanks for the help so far
