Mandriva 2006 + ATI drivers?
I can't get the ATI drivers to work on my Mandriva 2006 system. I think the reason is that the ATI drivers are made for x.org 6.8.0, but mdk2006 comes with x.org 6.9.0.
Here's an excerpt from my Xorg.0.log: Code:
(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc." |
I have an idea: use xorg 6.8.0.
|
Download the most recent drivers from the ATI site. They may take some hand tweaking, as was true in my case, but they work with 6.9.0, as I bring you this post from it:D

Don't ask me why, but it's working now. I uninstalled the RPM and reinstalled again using the executable. This time it correctly detected xorg 6.9.0 and after running fglrxconfig and rebooting I have 3D. :) My guess is that I didn't have the correct kernel sources when I tried it the same way yesterday.

hi ,
It worked for me too. I uninstalled the rpm and installed the dkms package and then reinstalled the ati run package. regards, Krishna |
Hi,
I think I've got the same problem with Mandriva and I can not find any way to solve it. Could you tell me which rpm's exactly you uninstalled and which exec's you have installed? I would be grateful, take care! |
Hey,
I am on mandriva 2006, fglrx 8.19.10 (rpm) i get the same problem about x.org 7 mismatch, ive got my kernel source installed, n tried installing dkms (not sure wat it is but someone said they isntalled it), tried manually budling the module and insatlling that but it would apear i cannot get it to either bulid a moduel for my x.org, or cant get it to accept the version so like drogi, verbatium instructures would be very gratefull for thx |
Had the same issue on my Gentoo box, with the "-1", but seems that on my Mandriva install I had no problems whatsoever... Just used the latest drivers (.run flavor, not the rpm) and used the xorg.cfg I'm using for a few months now. Worked like a charm. The downside seems to be the lack of 3D acceleration in both distros when using Xorg 7.0.-1. I guess have to look a bit more into this...

i hvant tired the auto installer but i did get the rpm to work.
i downloaded some packages found: http://www.tux3d.org/fglrx/Mandriva/2006/i586 notably dkms-fglrx which compiled something on my kernel which i think fixed the problem (i installed any other 'fglrx' named packages but i do not think i needed them i think they were redundent and came with the ati fglrx rpm) after installing this package i reinstalled the ati rpm *note that i had to restart before it would load fglrx module, restarting X would not work) i have 3d accleration and got some games to work fine like armagetron which is native, but having problems wiht games crashing in cedega and also quake 4 linux demo would constantly crash :\ so i would avoid xorg 6.9/7 untill these driver issues are resolved if you are a linux n00b like myself. |
ATI drivers with x.org 6.9.0
I had same problem, and mange to fix by running xf86cfg
as root xf86cfg and then quit and save all Xwindows should work |
