Hi,

I am using an ATI Radeon 9800 se with HDMI connection.

I have two choices :

1/ First one is to install the free driver of Xorg and my screen has a good display but I CANNOT use special 3D effect with compiz or others 3D application.

2/ Install the last official driver of ATI for this card but it's the reverse.

I am brand-spanking-new at this whole linux thing and I'm having a difficult time of installing my graphics driver. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an Acer Extensa 4420. It has an ATI Radeon Xpress 1250. I have gone to the ATI/Radeon site and downloaded the proprietary driver that is supposed to correspond with my card.

trying to install ATI Catalyst. What should I do?

Hi I am new to Fedora (and Linux itself). I am also not English, so excuse me if I write something weird.

I have MSI ATi Radeon X1950Pro

Everytime I try to install the driver form ATI's site I get this error:

Code: Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.28-15-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro Have a radeon X1300

Any one have any suggestions?

I've followed this topic to install graphics card driver: How to install driver for AMD Radeon HD6470M

3D Support for Radeon 9600 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hi,

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 video card on openSUSE 11.2 and I wish to enable 3D acceleration to get all the eye-candy working.

As I understand it, fglrx will not work because ATI has relegated support of this video card to the legacy driver, which does not support the latest version of X.

Just a heads up, everything here is being done in Ubuntu, just because I already had a PPC disk. Later when I have a better internet connection, I'll use Lubuntu, but this was quicker. I have a PowerMac G5 dual Core, with the default graphics card, the Radeon 9600. Great for low shaders, however I cannot seem to get the driver working.

I followed the instructions here

What is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx)?

in the second part of the subject they said Installing the ATI Catalyst Drivers for 12.10 when I reach the line command

sudo sh amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run

the terminal type that problem:
