Re: Using ATI driver on Radeon 9600

[Thorsten de Jong <thaden@freenet.de>]

i'm by no means an expert on things like these, but i successfully
managed to install a radeon 9600 with ati's proprietary drivers.
if that's what you want, i recommend the instructions on
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html .
i had to compile the kernel modules and then copy them into the proper
modules subdirectory by hand because for some reason the version of the
self compiled modules did not quite match the kernel version.
i also had to remove any agp, dri and drm modules via modconf. i built
my new xf86config-4 with the fglrxconfig tool.

i know this is not the professional way, but it worked for me and maybe
it's also helpful for you.

cheers,

thorsten.
