This covers the distribution-independent way of installing the driver with the Installer. Ideally, you should install using the [[:Category:Distributions|distribution-specific]] processes for a less painful experience.

Or look into the '''[[:Category:Installation Documentation|Installation Documentation]]''' Category.

See the article: '''"3D Acceleration for ATI cards (works for SuSE, Mandriva and Debian)"''' at
