Hi, Trying to install ken mod and driver for ATI 9600se.
Running SuSE, when to their site(ftp) and don't know which Kernel Mod and driver I should dl. Or if I shoud just use the xorg one from ATI site. The card is an ATI 9600se (8x) this is in a gigabyte 1000mk mainboard. I believe it is an intel 865g chipset.
uname -a
Linux linux 2.6.8-24.14-smp #1 SMP Tue Mar 29 09:27:43 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
ftp site is:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup...92/i386/fglrx/
but it has
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup.../fglrx/8.10.19
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup.../fglrx/8.12.10
which one do I use?
I will follow the readme from there.
Should I use the SuSE or ATI ones?
I tried to install SuSE ones from YaST but does not seem like it worked although...
cjae@linux:~> dmesg | grep agp
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel 865 Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 439M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe0000000
cjae@linux:~> lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx 242716 0
Should I use agpart in fglrxconfig?
Also which mode should I pick in fglrxconfig for the screen mode
1. Single Head (1 screen, second dark)
2. Laptop Mode (Ability to toggle between internal / external screen)
3. Clone Mode (2 screens - same content)
4. Big Desktop (2 screens - one framebuffer)
5. Dual Head (2 screens - two drivers)

I used the catalyst driver in Win for this card and would allow me to 'switch amongst displays' where one screen was enabled at a time. I used alt f5 to toggle back and forth between a compaq v55 crt via vga and jvc av27d501 TV via s-video.
I wish to do the same thing here. Does anyone know the alt f5 equivilent? I know ctrl alt +/- switches resolution.
Also SuSE installation detected a rv350 ap, which is a 9600se, but what is the ap part?
I am pretty sure during installation it said it was an asus radeon. I have rv350 AQ, AR, AS, AT, AU, AV, AW, NP, NQ, NR, NS, NT and NV to pick from. WHAT is ap? Mobile...Generic (sapphire)?
Do I need to enter the v sync h sync and refresh rate of TV?

Sorry for the long post but I am sure about most settings, I just wanted to see others opinions.
I also tried to install the ATI rpm, but it keep giving me /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/X11R6/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 is too small, not checked.
Many a Many Thanks to Anyone who will attempt to help me.
They're somewhere in the same directories on the FTP server. It's not responding now so I can't check. Unless the new driver version (8.12.10) is giving you trouble, you should use that. Any improvement in the ATI drivers is definitely worth it...
