fglrx Install script fedora 10

December 27, 2008 8 comments

THIS SCRIPT IS NO LONGER REQUIRED SINCE PACKAGES IN RPMFUSION REPO WORK .

http://djsh.net/2009/01/26/fedora-10-fglrx/

Note:

– Remove all packages related to previous attempts to install fglrx

– It now supports x86_64 but requires more testing on the platform

– Since its new it will have many unobserved bugs even though it has been tested

-This uses the ati driver at http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

-For x86_64 bit OS you can either select  64 bit driver (while installing) or install 32 bit driver and remove # sign in front of a section called NOTE.

-If any bugs are encountered please comment about them (with details) at this blog.

To install put driver and script in same folder and run sh installfglrx (root mode)

AFTER INSTALL(if everything is working_:
