It is assumed that you have completed the [[Installation|installation process]].

==Verify with ATI tools==
If the installation has worked, then any 3D application should work without issue. A simple way to verify without any possibility of failure is to verify the following occurs. Please note that you may have needed to go through [[:Category:Distributions|distribution specific]] process to enable the 3D support.
===fglrxinfo===
<pre>
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5804 (8.25.0)
</pre>
===fgl_glxgears===
You can also run the ATI provided application called fgl_glxgears which should show a spinning cube with the venerable glxgears running on each face.

<b>If when you run fgl_glxgears, the cube spins, but is lacking any cogs on the faces, the faces being instead, various shades of blue, and/or you get an error message like:</b>

<pre>
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 182.600 FPS
783 frames in 5.0 seconds = 156.600 FPS
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 14 (X_GetGeometry)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 51
Current serial number in output stream: 51

==Verify with Linux tools==
===glxinfo===
This command line option should report "direct" rendering.
$ glxinfo | grep direct

(For Debian 4.0, install the mesa-utils package to get glxinfo.)

===Xorg.0.log===
The X.org X server log file also contains useful information to verify installation was successful. It is located on most Linux distributions at <code>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</code> and can be opened by any text editor.

'''You can now move on to [[Configuring|configuring the driver]].'''

The list of GNU/Linux flavors that are documented for the ATI Linux driver.

Although ATI can only actively support a small number of distributions, distribution vendors are encouraged to work with ATI to ensure that native packages can be created for their distribution. The current actively supported distributions are the '''Redhat Enterprise Linux''' and '''Novell/SuSE''' suite of products.

Also note that the End User License Agreement explicitly provides for repackaging and redistribution of ATI's drivers. If your favourite distribution is not listed below, please work with them to contact ATI and either get support in the installer, or natively in the distribution.
