| ==Installation Option #2 Local RPM Build==
| |
| Releases through Catalyst 8.9 do not work on Fedora 9 without extensive patching/downgrading.
| |
| See the [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=192261 Catalyst 8.4 - 8.9 failures]
| |
| ==Installation Option #3 Ubuntu tarball==
| |
| | |
| | |
| * Download 8.542 package [http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run fglrx-8.542]
| |
| * sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F9
| |
| * sudo rpm -ivh kernel....rpm
| |
| * sudo rpm -ivh ATI-fglrx-8.....rpm
| |
| * sudo rpm -ivh ATI-fglrx-c.....rpm
| |
| | |
| * untar [http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx-installer_8.543.orig.tar.gz fglxrx-8.543]
| |
| * cp -rv fglx/x740/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/* /usr/lib/xorg/modules
| |
| | |
| ==Issues==
| |
| Current driver releases do not build on Fedora 9 without patching, and the resulting RPM packages crash the X server. Downgrading X and installing a older ATI driver release is an option. Rumor has it that a upcoming Fedora 9/Mesa 7.2 update will fix the ATI Catalyst issues. It is due out in a matter of weeks.
