Fedora Core 5 Installation Guide

Revision as of 14:18, 13 July 2011

Note: You must have your "kernel-devel-[version]" RPM package installed prior to fglrx installation.
Note: The administrator of this wiki uses FC5 on a Radeon 9700 with the latest driver without any issues using the Official ATI Binary Installer.

Thanks guys, I just about lost it loonkig for this.

No longer supported as Fedora Core 5 is shipping with X.org version 7.0.

+Thanks guys, I just about lost it loonkig for this.
-#Enable the livna repository
-#Install the drivers and kernel module
-    <code>rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm</code>
-    <code>yum install kmod-fglrx</code>
-<b>Notes:</b>
-* For ease of installation and updating, the package name of the driver has been changed
-* As of today (2006-04-08) livna is still working out install bugs ( [http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842 Bugtracker] ) in the X86_64 package.  It apperas they have fixed the problem, but have not yet finished testing.  Some people report mixed success compiling from the source RPMS. YMMV.
-* As of today (2006-06-14) tried several times to install the driver for ATI RADEON X700. It installed but not working. Still stuck at vesa. Those who are trying this method, be warned.
-Now I know who the brainy one is, Ill keep looikng for your posts.
