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) > > Do be honest, I don't' really care whether the ATI card gets > interfaced properly, I just want 1024x768 resolution since I use it > only for work (mostly coding) and not play.
