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-dr
iver-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) 16a. #mkdir
-p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri 16b. #ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri 17.#X (start X) 18.#fglrxinfo (and you should
be view ATI.... rows)
