| '''Installing ATI Proprietary Catalyst driver 8.3 posted March 5th 2008 on '''Debian Lenny''' (testing)'''
| |
|
| |
| This was tested by running the automated install:
| |
|
| |
| OPTIONALLY Update /etc/apt/sources.list to include non free as follows, DON'T JUST ADD THESE LINES<br>
| |
| Change just the last parts, where it says '''lenny main contrib non-free''' or '''main contrib non-free'''<br>
| |
|
| |
| deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free<br>

| deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free<br>
| |
| deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free<br>

| Code:<br>
| |
| apt-get update<br>
| |
| apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debconf bzip2 wget '''#OPTIONAL'''<br>
| |
| aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.22-3-amd64 #REQUIRED FOR DRIVER TO COMPILE KERNEL MODULE<br>

| My xorg.conf including textured 2d settings is available at:<br>

| |
| You probably just want to replace the "Driver" section. The other parts are specific to my system<br>
| |
| Alternately you can use aticonfig -h and set them all yourself.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| DO NOT JUST COPY IT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ELO TOUCHSYSTEMS 17" MONITOR WITHOUT TOUCH SCREEN OVERLAY!<br>
| |
| AT THE VERY LEAST YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL REFRESH LINES UNDER MONITOR TO MAKE IT WORK<br>
