Documentation to install the ATi Linux driver under the different distributions of GNU/Linux.

'''Installing ATI Proprietary Catalyst driver 8.3 posted March 5th 2008 on '''Debian Lenny''' (testing)'''

This was tested by running the automated install:

OPTIONALLY Update /etc/apt/sources.list to include non free as follows, DON'T JUST ADD THESE LINES 
Change just the last parts, where it says '''lenny main contrib non-free''' or '''main contrib non-free''' 

deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free 
deb-src http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free 

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free 
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free 

Code: 
apt-get update 
apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debconf bzip2 wget '''#OPTIONAL''' 
aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.22-3-amd64 #REQUIRED FOR DRIVER TO COMPILE KERNEL MODULE

bash ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run.bin 
 
Follow screen for automatic installation. 

aticonfig --initial 
REBOOT REBOOT REBOOT 
 
My xorg.conf including textured 2d settings is available at: 
http://www.trbailey.net/xorg.conf 
or 
http://www.trbailey.net/xorg.conf.copy 
 
You probably just want to replace the "Driver" section. The other parts are specific to my system 
Alternately you can use aticonfig -h and set them all yourself. 
 
DO NOT JUST COPY IT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS 17" MONITOR WITHOUT TOUCH SCREEN OVERLAY! 
AT THE VERY LEAST YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL REFRESH LINES UNDER MONITOR TO MAKE IT WORK 
 
'''Install compiz and set fglrx whitelist''' 
 
apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compizconfig-backend-gconf compiz-core compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-main 
 
Now edit /usr/bin/compiz 
 
Find this line: 
 
WHITELIST="nvidia intel ati radeon i810" 
 
Change it to: 
 
WHITELIST="fglrx nvidia intel ati radeon i810" 
 
Save it 
 
Test in terminal first: 
 
Enter: compiz --replace 
Fiddle to your hearts content 
If all works OK. 
System -> Preferences -> Sessions 
ADD 
Desc: Compiz Compisiting manager 
Command: compiz --replace 
SAVE, LOG off then logon again 
Play...
