Does anyone know how to install ATI's Propitary driver on xorg's desktop. It errors out because it is not xfree86 I did a force install and it created a xfree86 config file but I do not know how to transfer the information to the xorg.conf file Sory it is so long but, I am at wits end on this.

Sorry it was so long just i am a total noob at this.

RIV@NVX

I'm not sure there is much you can do here. ATI needs to update their driver for compatibility with x.org solution. Let's hope they will do that in future

JLP

Yeah but it doesn't look any good right now. It looks like ATI has abandoned us Linux user What a shame. Over 4 monzhs wothout any new driver. And even the current one doesn't have any hardware acceell for Xrender.

DarkFoss

This link may help you out. I haven't tried it, since I uninstalled Fedora 2.. Bugs'n all I prefer Mandrake 10.

G'Luck...If it works post back so others know that it does.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will try that tonight or tomarrow morning. (I have a graduation party to go to tonight. ) I will post back here with the results of what happened. And thanks again for all your help and future help.

shaman9876

Thanks for all your help the link worked like a charm. I now have full 3d acceleration. Now if i could get the virtual desktop fixed without using ctr+alt+ minus key all the time.

No problem with running X.org and ATI Drivers.

Here is my xorg.conf
