Feisty + ATI kort + fglrx
Postat: 27 apr 2007, 22:16
Finally ATI released the much anticipated update to the fglrx driver which now has support for xorg 7.0 and works with all xseries cards. Mine (xpress 200m) did not work with the fglrx 8.25.18 drivers but now have full support and 3D acceleration. These drivers also address the black screen hanging issue when xorg is shutdown or restarted. Heres a quick tutorial on how I got it working. Much thanks to IVHassel for the tutoiral before that I used to get the old drivers working.
Cards that are known to work with these new drivers can be found here: https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.26.18.html
Installing the new driver
Download the ATI driver installer from the ATI Website: 32bit Installer:

Edit:64 bit users:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... x86_64.run
Edit:New 8.27.10 drivers are now available. Follow the guide but change the file names accordingly.

64 Bit:https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... x86_64.run
This guide refers to the 32bit version of the driver. If you are using a x86_64 System you need the 64bit Installer. The installation procedure should be the same as for 32bit, except some filenames will differ slightly.
Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list before doing these steps.
