Can anyone please tell me if there are any drivers for ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 card.

Its a new one that is used with ATI's chipset and meant for AMD Turion X2. I've read that it has the 300's core.

Please help

---------------------
== All cards ==

I think it would be helpful to create an overview for all cards, which features (as compared to the Windows XP and Vista drivers) which have been implemented and how far they have been implemented. For instance: Is TV-Out supported? And for which resolutions? And dual-monitor? Somewhat like browser comparisons on Wikipedia for the W3C standards they support.

== ATI RADEON Xpress 1150 ==

Yes, I have the same problem. I bought a Dell notebook that has the ATI RADEON Xpress 1150 integrated. I am trying to run Ubuntu Linux with Beryl 3D Desktop. I would like some help, or better yet, a driver...

Thanks,

And what about x1250 integrated? :(

== Radeon HD ==

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 and Opensuse 10.3. Are there any drivers available that will/might work?
This site is a waste of time - they never reply!

Is Radeon HD 3650 AGP supported (or going to be supported)? 8.4 didn't seem to work for me (worked ok on my old 9600 AGP). Are any HD AGP cards going to be supported in the future?

Additional question: Radeon HD46xx is still not supported, right?
Would it be an help for the not so experienced customer to name new chipsetzs that are not supported by know or will for whatever reason never be supported?

== X1600 ==

I have an X1600 running on a MacBook Pro and the driver does ''not'' work under Ubuntu Feisty (as confirmed by the [[Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide]]).

== mobility 2600 ==

I am converting to ubuntu feisty from vista, and i am trying to get my laptop a driver for it ATI mobility 2600. Will the driver listed on this website work. It´s not in the supported harware list though..

== ATI Radeon 9600 XT ==

Hi here,

I have a PC with Ubuntu 7.10 and a ATI 9600 XT with it. Using both Open-source and official drivers, I can't get clone screen on my TV and VGA out.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the leading platform for open source computing. It is sold by subscription, delivers continuous value and is certified by top enterprise hardware and software vendors. From the desktop to the datacenter, Enterprise Linux couples the innovation of open source technology and the stability of a true enterprise-class platform." -redhat.com

Please note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Core are distantly related and are not the same product. Please see the [[Fedora]] distribution page for more details.

Another option for those wanting the stability of RHEL, there are various RHEL clones, some of them listed below:

- [http://centos.org/ CentOS] is a community effort which tracks each RHEL release and update and offers up2date and yum service. All this for free, donations encouraged.

- The [http://linux.startcom.org/ StartCom Linux] operating systems, are based on the RedHat Enterprise and Fedora source code each modified with reliability, security and efficiency in mind, to fit the tasks assigned to each flavor of StartCom Linux.

==Installation Workaround for RHEL clones==
Installation of current RPMs like fglrx_6_8_0-8.42.3-1.i386.rpm may fail on RHEL clones with this error message:

FATAL: Module fglrx not found.
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5182: line 807: [: =: unary operator expected

The problem is that the installation script searches for the string "Red Hat" in /etc/redhat-release. So before installing the RPM simply replace "CentOS" by "Red Hat" in /etc/redhat-release using a text editor. After the RPM has installed successfully I recommend to restore your old /etc/redhat-release. For StartCom Linux create the file /etc/redhat-release with the string "Red Hat" in it. This seems to have been fixed as of CentOS 5.1.

==Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6==
The ATI GUI installer on a ThinkPad T60 needed to install kernel-devel and rpm-build
# up2date -f kernel-devel rpm-build
# ./ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg
# ./ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg RedHat/RHEL4

==Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 (RHEL 5.0 and CentOS 5.0)==
fglrx versions up to and including 8.36.5 require that you install some compatabiliy RPMs.

Here is what I did to get the fglrx driver to run with my FireGX 5150 on CentOS 5.0:

Install ATI driver 8.36.5.

Display all compat-* RPMs if you like:
yum list "compat-*"

Install the compat RPMs. I installed a bunch of them that I need for other reasons:
yum install compat-libstdc -33 compat-glibc compat-gcc-34 compat-readline compat-libf2c
I do not know which if these RPMs are actually needed for fglrx. They appear above ordered from most likely, to least likely to be needed.

As of CentOS 5.1 (and thus, probably, RHEL 5.1) the only compat library required is compat-libstdc++-33. Note that you may need to temporarily disable SELinux (setenforce 0) during the fglrx install or SELinux will block part of the install. I backed out the install (rpm -e), turned off SELinux and re-ran the install so no idea whether it will work if you don't turn off SELinux. Once the install is complete, you can re-enable SELinux with setenforce 1.

The aticonfig program crashes, so you will have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file yourself. All I had to do was change the driver from "vesa" to, "fgrlx":
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection

As of CentOS 5.1 (and probably RHEL 5.1) this is no longer the case. aticonfig --initial works as expected.

Reboot

A couple of notes to the really good summary above...
You also need the -devel RPMs for most of the packages listed (and a number not). After that I managed to get the aticonf program to not crash by doing:
aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right
You also should add the following to your xorg.conf file:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

However there are still problems with the fgrlx driver. Even after all of this and a reboot fglrxinfo still says the system is using Mesa GLX Indirect rendering. Also the ATI Catalyst Control Center (amdcccle) will now restart X when you try to run it. Basically it is a mess and I think we need to wait until an updated driver comes along for RHEL 5.

The above no longer appears to be the case as of centOS 5.1. I did not need any devel rpms and fglrxinfo shows:

[root@bend ~]# /usr/bin/fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7276 Release

==Tips and Tricks==
If you have SELinux enabled and set to enforcing you may need to change the context of the fglrx_dri.so file for it to load properly:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Substitute lib with lib64 where appropriate.

== Screen Rotation ==
On Catalyst 8.9 and later ATI drivers now support RandR rotation. After configuring your ati card as usual enter the following string.
<nowiki>
aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandr12,TRUE"</nowiki>

Then restart X11. Your xrandr should work.

== Open Source Drivers ==

ATI Radeon cards 8500,9000,9200 and 9250 working with [[open source drivers]] provide OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration.

== Proprietary Drivers ==

Proprietary drivers can be used instead, if so desired, although it is not necessary to use these for the cards listed above.

*No support for the built in tuner in "All-in-Wonder" cards.

===OpenGL===
*Provides some OpenGL 2.0 commands
BUT NOT
the OpenGL 2.0 version of the shading language.

The ATI driver uses a version of the shading language called
the ARB extension. The ARB extension was used before
OpenGL 2.0 was finished.
