Ubuntu and Mandriva packages of ATI 9.1 Catalyst Drivers

Dark Star · 01-02-2009, 08:09 PM

Finally shifted to Ubuntu 8.10 64bit.. so thought of contributing a bit

Will use it as my main OS from now on

Back to Ubuntu after 1year .. The last one I loved was Gutsy Gibbon

Since ATI has released the latest driver for Linux with OpenGL 3.0 and lots of video playback , hybrid crossfire and overdrive enhancements ... I thought of releasing packages for Ubuntu and Mandriva...Download and installed as recommended.. Before installing please remove old drivers to avoid Xorg errors for having multiple fglrx-dkms value..

Download deb for Ubuntu 32/64bit, rpm for Mandriva Linux 2009.0 32/64 bit edition

Code:

Ubuntu :  http://www.mediafire.com/?j44sgmdnl2t
Mandriva : http://www.mediafire.com/?ztm1dvrkydz

Extract the zip and place all the files at desktop.. Now open the Terminal and type

Code:

sudo su root
cd /home/<user_name>/Desktop

3. To install it 1'st make sure no other installation is going on and after that type this

Code:

Ubuntu  32bit : sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 

Ubuntu 64bit : sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb 

Mandriva :  urpmi *fglrx*.rpm

Ubuntu users make sure you activate your fglrx from Ubuntu Restricted Driver Manager after installing it, Mandriva users set your Graphics card from Mandriva CC -> Hardware.. That should do.. You can even install using GUI by download .run file from ATI site but installing from deb/rpm is easy as the zip I posted is only 30-18Mb and the run package in ~80Mb..

Navigate to ATI Catalyst Center from Main Menu .. You can use overdrive from terminal .. Type aticonfig for more help.. To check that fglrx is up and running do these

Code:

shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8395 Release

Have fun with ATI Catalyst..

All installed fine, but there no driver for my damned ATI Mobility 2400 HD

Code:

[neolo@localhost ~]$ fglrxinfo
unknown chip id 0x94c9, can't guess.
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.3

I'm running Mandriva 2009.1 on Samsung R60+ notebook.
PLZ Help me with my ATI card! All official .run lasted installers not working.
