58.58.180.134: /* Pre-built packages from RPMFusion */

This was so helpful and easy! Do you have any artliecs on rehab?

= Offical AMD Driver =

''Note: This procedure is untested.''

=== Preinstall required packages ===

The script from AMD builds a kernel module, so we're going to need to install some development packages.

<pre>
su -
yum install kernel-devel gcc
</pre>

If you're on 64-bit you may also have to install this package too. (''you do for 64-bit nVidia drivers so I had it installed anyway'')

<pre>
su -c
yum install glibc-devel
</pre>

=== Download driver ===

Download the appropriate driver from http://support.amd.com/

It will be called something like ''ati-driver-installer-version.run''.

=== Install driver ===

Run the file as root in the "sh" shell.

<pre>
su -
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-version.run
sh ./ati-driver-installer-version.run
</pre>

=== Generate a new xorg.conf ===

This should do fine for most people.

<pre>
su -
aticonfig --initial -f
</pre>

If you have multiple monitors or X2 cards then you'll need to do some other stuff, check one of the [[Ubuntu]] guides for the correct syntax.

=== GRUB boot config ===

Ensure there's a '''radeon.modeset=0''' entry on the end of your kernel line in '''/boot/grub/menu.lst''' file, you could also use '''nomodeset''' here.

I expect the AMD install script will do this for you.
