It works. The ATI-driver is works.

The culprit is /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so

which not symbolic links to the one is supposed to link.

so there is an error report about:

EE) fglrx(0): (fglrxdrm.a version = 8.91.4, expected 8.88.7). Disabling DRI.

Thanks, I should give myself some credit, I was so over-estimate the
difficulties. wasted my whole week.

Hiya
I fould when playing with an ATI card, built in on mobo, that the fglrx driver was twitchy
and would stop every few seconds.
Now a friend is buying the same mobo as I have with a Bulldog x6 amd processor, which I will install
wheezy on for him.
the guys a pain as he a windows user, ie point click and do not engage brain,
He's tried linux before and gave up, so I don't want the same hassle of telephones calls in the evening
asking how to do something , that a simple google would answer.

So Lina what was your process of install, as I can turn off my nvidia card and try it out before
installing next Tuesday.

Well, (The truth is that I am not experienced at all, haha ... ).

One suggestion, why you choose the squeeze for your friend, which is stable.


Which ati package did you use, did you blacklist any drivers ?

fglrx-driver (inclusive following packages: fglrx-atieventsd
fglrx-control fglrx-glx-ia32 fglrx-modules-dkms glx-alternative-fglrx
libfglrx libfglrx-ia32 libgl1-fglrx-glx)

I did not blacklist any drivers,

Just today also issued the aticonfig --initial

BTW, you may wait for someone who is experienced from list giving your
some more serious answer.
Best regards,


Many thanks

if its a video driver run file why not just chmod +x the file and then sh ./YOURDRIVER.run
That works for me using proprietary video drivers. Not really sure I get why you were even trying all that. If you read ATI or NVIDIA websites were you would be downloading the driver from the information states how to install their drivers on Linux based OS's.
You say you dont want your friend to call you over a simple issue that could be googled, but couldnt you have just as easily googled, Install ATI on Wheezy and you would have found lots of guides that are using Debian's packages or Proprietary. ?
