Install a new ATI graphics (9200) in RedHat9.0 (9200) Because RH9 supports the most hardware in the old machine (except S90), there is no chance to practice if you configure XFree86 and hardware-related techniques. This time, the new machine has a problem, it is coming, today talk about the installation process of the graphics card! After a night's exploration, I started X-windows with a new graphics card. The method is actually very simple, why did you get a night? The reason is that my kitten can't open www.ati.com, I just started a lot of driver websites and Linux related websites in China, I didn't find the latest graphics driver of ATI. Later, I found the latest for Linux driver issued on October 10, 2003 on October 10, 2003, and quickly downloaded it, it is RPM format, but how to install it? A sewage! Ha ha! At this time, try to open the official website of the ATI, this time I am open, I will click "Driver", you can see the following information in the driver download page: ================= ============================================================================================================================================================================================================= ======== Fixed in this release: Added support for the following graphics cards:? ATI RADEON 9800 XT support Added support for hardware acceleration under WineX ATI Proprietary Linux driver no longer fails to load on AMD Athlon systems === ============================================================================================================================================================================================================= ====================== Oh, I am using the amd attlon systems! Is this not prepared for me! Is this still considered? download now.
But at this time, pay attention to the version of Xfree86 you use! My version is 4.3.0 RH9 in XFREE86, download the following address: http:? //Www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html type = linux & prodType = graphic & prod = productsLINUXdriver & submit.x = 12 & submit. Y = 13 This link provides a download of 4.1.0 / 4.2.0 / 4.3.0 of Xfree86 in this link.
One should be downloaded according to the version of the Xfree86 you use, otherwise don't blame, I don't blame, I didn't remind you! However, I think the driving of the Official website is not very good, I still recommend the driver home to download (a large number of Size provided by the official website), the corresponding XFree86 version 4.3.0 version of the download address: http: / /file2.mydrivers.com/display/fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.8.i586.RPM driver home provides the corresponding XFree86 version 2.2.0 version of the download address: http://file2.mydrivers.com/display /FGLRX-GLC22-4.2.0-3.2.8.I586.RPM Let's talk about the installation method! According to the method provided by the ATI official website, it is easy to get it. The original text is as follows: =================================== ============================================================================================================================================================================================================= ==================================================================================================================================================】 Installation using RPM Possible Installation Issues Advanced Installation Topics Before you installMake sure the following software is already installed on your system: glibc version 2.2 or 2.3 XFree86 version 4.1.0, 4.2.0, or 4.3.0 Download the correct ATI driver package for the XFree86 version you have installed If you are not sure which, you may download and run the following script to make sure:.. Check.sh Installation using RPMFor each of these steps you will have to be logged on as the root user cd to the Directory Containing The ati driver rpm package issue the folload command: rpm --for --force
.rpm Note any error messages that may occur while installing (see below) Run the fglrxconfig utility to configure the driver Answer the questions as prompted When asked to generate an XF86Config-4 file, answer yRestart and log into X-Windows Run fglrxinfo to verify the driver is installed correctly If the output reads OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. then your ATI drivers are installed and configured correctly.Otherwise, if fglrxinfo indicates that MESA Indirect (software) Rendering is being used, then you may want to repeat the Steps listed above, while paying: any error message: any ans, all answers given during fglrxconfig ======================== ============================================================================================================================================================================================================= ================================================ according to me Test, using the default installation method of RH9 can be automatically driven normally without any other library file. Friendly reminds: If you don't have KDE, you will have a pity because the new drive will have a graphical interface control panel under KDE. In order to take care of English, I'm briefly say that the installation step (as an example of Xfree864.3.0): 1 Put the corresponding RPM file CP to your personal directory, then execute rpm -uh --force FGLRX-GLC22-4.3 .0-3.2.8.i586.rpm2 Then execute the FGLRXCONFIG prompt, then set it according to your graphics card and display performance parameters, where you can also set the hardware acceleration of the graphics card. 3 The last is to perform FGLRXINFO to see if the installation is successful, and if you don't success, you will perform FGLRXCONFIG to re-configure the graphics. 4 Execute STARTX Start X5 Select the device in Show, change the name of the graphics to the model you use.
(This step can be available, but I don't like Linux thinking that my graphics card is unknow frevice.) Installing an ATI graphics in Linux encountered problems Access http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/linuxhowto-ati .html
