<div>[[Category:NeedsUpdating]]<br />
ATI commercial driver is included in commercial edition and in the freely downloadable Mandriva Linux One live / install CD edition. Commercial driver is not included in freely downloadable Mandriva Linux Free traditional installer edition. ATI commercial driver is available from public non-free section on official mirrors for Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring and later. ATI commercial driver is available from third-party PLF repository for all currently supported Mandriva Linux releases.<br />
<br />
'''N.B.''' From 2008 Spring the driver package has been renamed, replacing "ati" with "fglrx". e.g. dkms-fglrx<br />
<br />
== Installation from PLF third party repository ==<br />
<br />
Set up PLF non-free repository on your system. Use [http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ Easy URPMI] or [http://www.mandrivauser.de/smarturpmi Smart URPMI] to generate an urpmi.addmedia command to run at a console as root. See [http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Being_root Mandriva Wiki] for more instructions on running commands as root.<br />
<br />
Using Mandriva software installation tools - either rpmdrake or urpmi - install the packages '''dkms-ati''' and '''ati''' (some other packages will probably be pulled in as dependencies). See [http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tasks/Installing_and_removing_software Mandriva Wiki] for more instructions on installing packages.<br />
<br />
Re-configure graphics card using XFdrake configuration utility (in the Mandriva Control Center, go to '''Hardware''' then '''Set up the graphical server'''). Select the proprietary driver when offered the choice. Restart the system.<br />
<br />
== Installation from RPMS built from the ATI installer (use only if you need a driver more recent than PLF backports) ==<br />
<br />
First, download ati driver/installer and launch it with the parameter that ask for the RPM creation. Then install the built RPMS :<br />
<pre><br />
# su<br />
$ chmod x ati-driver-installer-X.X.X.run<br />
$ ./ati-driver-installer-X.X.X.run --buildpkg Mandriva/2008.1<br />
$ urpmi *fglrx*.rpm<br />
</pre><br />
