Installing ATi drivers

I posted this on my blog, and a couple of people suggested posting it here as well. Installing Manually on Crunchbang Statler (32/64bit)This method uses the latest Catalyst driver downloaded from AMD/ATI's site for newer Ati/Radeon cards.This was tested on a virgin install with no other previous attempts at installing Ati drivers.

This is for cards that need the current driver. If you need a legacy driver (173 or 96) there are dkms packages as well, but I have no way to test them. Good luck!I have seen a few people having trouble with the proprietary Nvidia drivers on crunchbang. It should not be this way as installing the Nvidia drivers is quite painless in Debian.

Hi Just wonder whether anyone had noticed this?I downloaded and installed from crunchbang-10-20120207-i386.iso yesterday and noticed that backports was enabled?

Ok, so I've had crunchbang installed on an acer revo. It has not been my primary desktop so I haven't bothered installing the drivers for the graphics card. Until now, that is.I've searhed a bit around but most of the info is getting a bit old. I would like to install nvidia proprietary drivers because last time I did so, they were clearly superior than the alternatives.

For those people ( like me ) that think its a pain to install wl everytime we install debian / #!, i found a script in the linux mint forums about it.im not sure if it works or not, havent tried it ( will try it soon ), but hey, why not try it..

Hi,

I have just downloaded and installed Debian 6.0.5 32+ bit from this page, the link that I have chosen is given below.

debian-6.0.5-i386-DVD-1.iso.torrent

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/i386/bt-dvd/ During installation the installer could not find my network drivers and I could not even select one for my pc from a long list either.

I found on Wiki these alternative installation instructions and came up with idea how to use Debian Netinstall to install #!. But I've got some doubts and questions.

My computer has an AMD Radeon HD6890 graphics card, and when Precise was running I had installed the proprietary drivers from AMD's website. After I updated to Quantal, Ubuntu would not detect my monitor's correct resolution, among other things. I went back on AMD's website to see if there were updated drivers and found some.

I'm trying to install PHP5, by compiling it myself.

I'm doing this on Crunchbang Linux, version 11. Specifically, the version using the 3.2 kernel. Crunchbang 11 is based on Debian. This is a 64-bit Virtual machine, running on a 64-bit Win7 Professional.
