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

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.

<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>

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.

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:

<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
</pre>

then see one of these pages:

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