Hi,
Now that my NIC is working, it's time that I bring up the next issue
with my new PC: the ATI video card. When I bought this PC, I had SuSE
on my mind (which is what I used to use on my old PC and my laptop),
but I started to like using Debian from work. With that said, I did
not have compatiblity issues in my head while I was picking out
components for my PC so I chose the Radeon (I didn't need 512MB of the
best 3D acceleration tha t money could buy; I just needed something
cheap, but decent), because I know for a fact that fglrx drivers can
be found for RH and SuSE on the ATI website and installed easily.
Sadly, that is not the case with Debian (even now, I'm just using the
VESA driver at 800x600 res.). After some googling, I found the
following website with detailed instructions:
_http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html_
<http://www.stanchina.net/%7Eflavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html>
I followed the steps and everything went smoothly without any sort of
errors. When I rebooted, my login screen was in the 1024x768
resoultion that I wanted. *hooray!* But would hang/freeze while
loading GNOME :(
To be honest, I don’t' really care whether the ATI card gets
interfaced properly, I just want 1024x768 resolution since I use it
only for work (mostly coding) and not play. Does anybody have any
suggestions on how I can achieve that?
Hi!
I use Debian Etch.
I have first installed the driver from
__http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html_
<http://www.stanchina.net/%7Eflavio/debian/fglrx-installer.html>_ but it
was very unstable on my linux box.
In second time I have installed the ATI Driver (downloaded from ATI
site) and now my ATI RADEON X300 work very well! :-)
These are the steps:
0. #stop X
1. #cd /tmp
2. #mkdir /tmp/test
3. #wget
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
in /tmp/test/
4. #chmod 755 /tmp/test/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
5. #sh /tmp/test/ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --buildpkg Debian/etch
(or Debian/sarge, or Debian/sid)
What is your Debian version?
6. #dpkg -i /tmp/test/fglrx-control_8.28.8-1_i386.deb
fglrx-driver_8.28.8-1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-src_8.28.8-1_i386.deb
7. #cd /usr/src/
8. #|apt-get install module-assistant|
9. #|module-assistant prepare
|10. |#module-assistant update|
11.| #module-assistant build fglrx
|12.| #module-assistant install fglrx
|13.| #||depmod -a
|14.| #rm -rf /tmp/test/||
|15. |#sudo aticonfig --initial (that change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file with ATI driver option)
|16. |#sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv ||(that change your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file with ATI driver option)|
17. |#X (start X)
|||18.| #fglrxinfo (and you should be view ATI.... rows)
|Regards,
Marco|

Thanks,
