<br />
=== OpenGL 2.0 Enhancement ===<br />
<br />
This release of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver provides support for applications utilizing OpenGL Extension Wrangler (GLEW) Library. GLEW has a run-time mechanism that determines which OpenGL extensions are supported on a target platform. <br />
<br />
=== Full Scene Anti-Aliasing Support ===<br />
<br />
This release of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver now provides Full Scene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA) support on all ATI Radeon® 9500 and above. FSAA is enabled through aticonfig. Information on this feature can be found executing the command aticonfig --help. <br />
<br />
==Known Issues==<br />
*Attempting to install the driver on distributions that have updated certain 3D components outside of the stock XOrg 6.8.2 may result in the driver not initializing 3D applications properly.<br />
*TV Display is Corrupt After Switching Resolutions.<br />
*Running two X servers simultaneously results in the system failing to respond.<br />

<div>= Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) =<br />
<br />
== Method 1: Installing Breezy's Included Driver (8.16.20) ==<br />
<br />
The fglrx driver supports Radeon 8500+ and the X-series cards (see [https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1176 release notes]). When running the dpkg-reconfigure commands you can accept the defaults whenever you aren't sure.<br />
<br />
=== Installing the driver ===<br />
<br />
''All Platforms:''<br />
<pre><br />
sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx<br />
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) #Okay if it is already installed<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg #Select the fglrx driver and 64-bit users should deselect int10a<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''64-bit users:''<br />
<br />
You have to downgrade to an older version of libdri.a due to an incompatilbity with the ATI drivers. [http://mail3.mpr.org/mlomker/libdri.a.gz Download it here]<br />
<br />
Change to download directory:<br />
<pre><br />
gunzip libdri.a.gz<br />
sudo cp /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a libdri.a.old<br />
sudo cp libdri.a /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If you wish to revert to any non-fglrx driver you will need to copy the libdri.a.old file back over the fglrx version.<br />
<br />
''All platforms:'' Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart your desktop.<br />
<br />
=== Confirm that it works ===<br />
<pre><br />
$ fglrxinfo<br />
display: :0.0 screen: 0<br />
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.<br />
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic<br />
OpenGL version string: 1.3.5272 (X4.3.0-8.16.20)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
<br />
If you have a widescreen LCD display that is stuck at 1024x768 then it is probably the bug in the 8.16.20 driver that was fixed in 8.18.X (see the next section). <br />
<br />
The output of '''dmesg | grep fglrx''' and /var/log/Xorg.0.log are most useful when looking for errors.<br />
<br />
== Method 2: Generating/Installing Ubuntu packages for the newer 8.23.7 drivers in Breezy Badger ==<br />
<br />
'''Important Warning:''' Installation of this driver requires removing the restricted-modules package in order to work. That package includes drivers for madwifi (Atheros wireless cards), nvidia cards, and a handful of other devices. I provide a work-around for the madwifi drivers, but you need to perform it before removing the restricted modules (jump to end of this this post).<br />
<br />
When running the dpkg-reconfigure command you should answer the questions that you know and take the defaults for the rest. You might want to say ''no'' to the monitor detection--it has caused X-Windows to crash for some people.<br />
<br />
=== Remove existing fglrx driver ===<br />
<br />
Remove Breezy's included drivers if they are installed:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx<br />
sudo apt-get remove fglrx-control<br />
sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg #select the "ati" module<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Reboot.<br />
<br />
=== Installing the new driver ===<br />
<br />
Download the ATI driver installer: [https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 Click here]<br />
<br />
Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories enabled in ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' before doing these steps. [http://mail3.mpr.org/mlomker/sources.list Sample sources.list]. <br />
<br />
''Install necessary tools:''<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 module-assistant build-essential <br />

</pre><br />
<br />
=== Troubleshooting ===<br />
<br />
==== General ====<br />
<br />
Look for error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and kern.log.<br />
<br />
==== Madwifi Drivers in Breezy Badger ====<br />
In order to continue using the [http://madwifi.org madwifi] driver you can do the following '''before''' removing the linux-restricted-modules package and rebooting.<br />
<pre><br />
sudo cp /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/volatile/ath_hal.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/<br />
sudo depmod -a $(uname -r)<br />
</pre><br />

= Ubuntu 6.04 (Dapper Drake) =<br />
<br />
== Generating/Installing Ubuntu packages for the newer 8.23.7 drivers in Ubuntu Dapper ==<br />
<br />
'''Important Change:''' Installation of this driver '''no longer requires''' removing the linux-restricted-modules package in order to work. There is a new blacklist feature in Ubuntu Dapper that you can use to go around this.<br />
<br />
When running the dpkg-reconfigure command you should answer the questions that you know and take the defaults for the rest. You might want to say ''no'' to the monitor detection--it has caused X-Windows to crash for some people.<br />
<br />
=== Remove existing fglrx driver ===<br />
<br />
Enable a blacklist for linux-restricted-modules<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Edit DISABLED_MODULES to include fglrx<br />
<br />
<br />
Remove Dapper's included drivers if they are installed:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx<br />
sudo apt-get remove fglrx-control<br />
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg #select the "ati" module<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Reboot.<br />
<br />
=== Installing the new driver ===<br />
<br />
Download the ATI driver installer: [https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27 Click here]<br />
<br />
Change to the download directory. Make sure that you have the ''universe'' and ''multiverse'' repositories enabled in ''/etc/apt/sources.list'' before doing these steps. <br />

<br />

</pre><br />
<br />

<br />
<pre><br />

LANG=C LC_ALL=C ./ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-i386.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/dapper<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''Install .deb packages:''<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.23.7-1_i386.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-control_8.23.7-1_i386.deb<br />
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.23.7-1_i386.deb<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
''Compile the kernel driver:''<br />
<br />
Remove any old fglrx deb's from /usr/src/<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo module-assistant prepare<br />
sudo module-assistant update<br />
sudo module-assistant a-i fglrx<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Note: If sudo module-assistant a-i fglrx doesn't work then run the following:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dpkg -i fglrx-kernel-source_8.23.7-1_i386.deb<br />
sudo module-assistant build,install fglrx<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This is because the current fglrx kernel source package in Dapper is broken yet marked "newer" than the one created by the ATI Installer.<br />
<br />
''Update the xorg.conf file:''<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo aticonfig --initial<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart your session.<br />
<br />
