| The ATI driver installer ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run has the ability to build RPMs.
| |
| | |
| ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg
| |
| | |
| shows the packages it can build.
| |
| There is no RHEL 5 option yet, but I've read somewhere that RHEL5 is based on FC6.
| |
| Given that I tried to build
| |
| | |
| ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
| |
| | |
| and it generated the following RPMs:
| |
| | |
| ATI-fglrx-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| ATI-fglrx-control-center-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| ATI-fglrx-devel-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| ATI-fglrx-IA32-libs-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| fglrx_6_8_0-8.36.5-1.i386.rpm
| |
| kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| | |
| fglrx_6_8_0-8.36.5-1.i386.rpm is for 32-bit.
| |
| | |
| To install these RPMs run
| |
| | |
| rpm -Uvh ATI-fglrx* kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| |
| | |
| Run
| |
| | |
| aticonfig --initial
| |
| | |
| and you could try it with:
| |
| | |
| startx
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| telinit 5
| |
| | |
| When you happy with the new driver you need to ensure that you have
| |
| | |
| id:5:initdefault:
| |
| | |
| in your /etc/inittab and reboot the box.
| |
| Please note, that SL5.0 installation did not recognise my card: ATI X1600 [Asus A6000KT laptop] so I had no X running and the default init mode was '''3''' [not '''5''']. YMMV.
| |
| | |
| I still do not know how to rebuild the kernel module for the different kernels.
| |
| By default the kernel module is being build for the current kernel [uname -r]
| |
| Today was the first security kernel upgrade revision 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.
| |
| So after new kernel installation I repeated the same procedure and installed new kernel module with
| |
| | |
| rpm -ivh kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
