Fedora安装ati显卡驱动

原文:http://gofedora.com/how-to-install-ati-catalyst-fglrx-98-drivers- fedora-11/

 

Following the suggestions in comments on my last post about ATI Catalyst (fglrx), I tried to reinstall ATI drivers version 9.8 and finally it worked. I thought of noting down the the process in few simple steps which anyone can follow and get the drivers working on Fedora 11 with latest kernel versions.

Step 1 : Update Kernel, Install kernel-devel

Huge thanks to Richard Lloyd and mxyzptlk2063 for pointing this out.
This step is not necessary. You may like to stick to the kernel version you already have. In case you want the latest kernel, just use yum to get the latest kernel.

Note: Do not forget to update the kernel-devel package as well as its needed to compile the fglrx kernel module.

DONT UPDATE THE KERNEL. Instead stick to whatever kernel version you have. If you have 2.6.30.*, you are unlucky Get a kernel version 2.6.29.* and install the kernel-devel for the same.

With Catalyst Driver version 9.10 you can update kernel to latest version before installing the Drivers.

[root@fedora ~]$ yum update kernel
[root@fedora ~]$ yum install kernel-devel

Step 2 : Download Drivers

Download the ATI Catalyst™ 9.8 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver from ATI/AMD website.

Step 3 : Install Drivers

Install the drivers that you have downloaded using the following command.

[root@fedora ~]$ bash ./ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run

Step 4 : Check Installation Result

Check the /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log file for result of installation. If there are no errors, proceed to the next step.

Note: You may see lines like this at the end of file

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules
done.

You can ignore these lines happily if they don’t contain any error message. You don’t really need to execute the command mentioned in those lines.

Step 5 : Blacklist radeon and radeonhd kernel modules

Add these lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

blacklist radeon
blacklist radeonhd

Step 6 : Generate initial Xorg configuration file

Note: This step is optional with Catalyst Driver version 9.10, but it wont harm even if you execute this.

You have to generate the initial xorg.conf file which will use fglrx as display device.

[root@fedora ~]$ aticonfig --initial

Step 7 : Modify xorg.conf

Open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add the following line to “Device” section (the one with fglrx as driver)

Option "SWCursor" "true"

Step 8 : Reboot

Reboot your machine. And you’ll have the latest ATI Catalyst drivers working on your Fedora 11

Step 9 : Testing

You can test your newly installed drivers and get the performance benchmarks for your graphics card using the commands below.

[saini@fedora ~]$ glxgears
[saini@fedora ~]$ fgl_glxgears

My graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 3200 (256MB, Onboard) and I get 1500FPS with glxgears and 300FPS with fgl_glxgears.

In case you messup things somewhere, you can uninstall the fglrx drivers using the following command

[root@fedora ~]$ /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

fedora 11 ati装 3D特效 补遗（已解决鼠标方块问题） 

本人在 hi.baidu/sjssd/blog/item/beed2b4421503236869473b6.html#send中总结了一个ATI显卡在 fedora 11下安装驱动的过程。
只是，上文中的3D特效并不完美，鼠标会有一个小方块。
其实这主要是添加在 "Device "段中的
Option "SWCursor" "true"
在作怪。它的目的是打开驱动的软件渲染，以起到相应加速作用。
然后， 问题出现了，加速是加速了，支持3D了，可鼠标出问题了。
比如说，不动鼠标它就自动隐藏，鼠标闪动频率太高花眼睛。
如果说以上两个效果大 家能把它当成一种ATI独有的3D特效来处理的话，可是，如果你在用鼠标选中任何目标（文件、文字等）时都会出现一个大型模糊的方块的话，又当如何？很多 人恐怕就无法忍受了。
对ATI的不爽暂且不提，就说如何解决这个问题吧。
其实很简单：
注：#号表示以root身份执行的命令
1.#vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf
找到Option "SWCursor" "true"一行，将它删掉。
2.#aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandr12,FALSE"
当然，如果你还没有按我前文的方法来安装驱动的话，就直接以 这条命令代替向Device段中添加SWCursor 属性.
3.#reboot
一般而言，此时你重启后，3D就完美了。。恼人的方块没 有了，鼠标也不再做高速运动了。。
呵呵。。好运！！
