UPDATE 8/28/2009: I now recommend that people install the new packages instead of the manual instructions below, see this link:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 (Howto for fglrx/catalyst (Ati driver) and Compiz-fusion)NOTE: After installing the packages, I had to do the things at the following link to make the above packages work:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpo...postcount=3564If you still want to install the driver manually (you do not need to if you install the packages above), the instructions are below:

I am running a fresh installation of Fedora 13 on a 64 bit machine. I have an ATI Radeon HD5750 video card, and I want to install drivers for it. I have tried following Leigh's guide, but I have run into a problem. I cannot install kmod-catalyst because of the following error:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install kmod-catalyst
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

I have already downloaded and installed ati's catalyst for my ati mobility radeon 4570 (at least i think so, since there is the ATI catalyst control center in the system-> preferences menu). The problem is that i want to upgrade its version from 10.9 to 10.10. and since i want to firstly uninstall the previous version,I get this:
Code:
alexandros@alexandros-laptop:/usr/share/ati$ sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
sh: Can't open ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
The uninstall.sh doesn't exist.

I just installed the newest version of Ubuntu 10.10 with a dual boot with Windows 7. I like it, but I think I might need sound drivers. Flash content sounds seem to lag a lot, and it is kind of annoying. I am using an ASUS M2N68-AM SE2. I can't find the original CD. and even if I did have it, would it even work with Ubuntu? Where can I get a compatible version?

I tried to install the ATI proprietary driver for an HD 5800 (Catalyst for Linux 64 bit, v. 10.8). The two main instruction sites are:
SDB:Configuring graphics cards - openSUSE
SDB:ATI drivers - openSUSE
I chose the hard way method. I downloaded the driver. Restarted SuSE 11.3 in mode 3. And as SU followed the method above, including adding the zypper programmes (which found some already installed and which installed a whole lot more). When I then attempted to run the install (sh ./atidriver-install-10.8-x86.x86_64.run) and selected automatic mode. It completed 82% and stalled attempting to install "Postprocessing Kernel Module".
I pressed control c to kill the process and attempted to re-install using the manual mode and then using the build mode. In both instances, same outcome. When I rebooted, and entered my password, the desktop did not load but sent me back to the username/password page. I can't get back in. Does not matter as I have backed up my docs.
I decided to install the proprietary driver because the colours on the desktop corrupt after the 2nd boot following a clean install. i.e. on the initial boot the colours are fine. Second, this is the 3rd effort I have made to install the driver after a clean install of SuSE 11.3 and there is no change in outcome. So, my question: anyone any suggestion what is going on and how I can install the driver successfully? Or, do I not understand the new regime in SuSE 11.3 and should I not attempt to install a new driver.

when RPMfusion will have the ATI catalyst driver for Fdedora 14 in its repo? If it is going to take a log time then I might just install it from ATI's site, but I'd rather not go through all the trouble if I don't have to.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the latest 11.6 Catalyst driver has been released.I would like everyone to know that I have successfully installed the ATI drivers in gnome, but lost the usability of gnome-shell and automatically dropped back to the basic Gnome desktop. But I still have a usable system.

I've tried ubuntu distribution but I'm not so satisfied of it, a bit because of unity (gnome3 is a way worste of that but is much more smooth and fast) and because on my laptop i always go overheating. with ubuntu coretemp in idle are always on 60?C and go to 75?C watching a video...it was crazy! So I've tried fedora, and I'm so happy with it, also if it is a bit more complex to use! but with some tutorial and easylife i got it working.
I have a dell studio 1537 with intel core 2 duo and ATi Mobility Radeon HD 3450 I've installed catalyst driver and now I have weired color on the top bar...I know is a common prolblem there is a way to solve it? If I have to reinstall Mesa driver how can I remove the Catalyst ones? There is a tweak to have icon on desktop? or at least the trash? Cheese always crash when I use some effect, why? it is a problem of the already installed mesa driver? because I have this problem either with the standard driver installed on the system either with the catalyst and the webcam is laggy like a slow connection...

I realize that Canonical is not responsible for the Catalyst driver, but I can't seem to operate outside of the Ubuntu Classic (no effects) mode for 64 bit Natty, and I was curius if anyone else had encountered or resolved this.
When I upgraded from 10.10 (I was using the fglrx package), xorg would immediately crash. I was able to reach the gdm screen only using recovery mode. I uninstalled the fglrx package, and now I can boot into Ubuntu Classic (no effects) mode only (no other desktop will work) using the open-source driver at no greater than 1280x1024.
When I try to re-install the catalyst driver using aptitude or Administration->Additional Drivers, the installation fails:
(jockey.log: WARNING: modinfo for module fglrx failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module fglrx)
Similarly, package generation from the AMD page fails:
Installation complete.
*** glibc detected *** ./setup.data/bin/x86_64/setup: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x000000000259f630 ***

write me a 100% working step-by-step guide to remove all Ati VGA driver and restore the original "mesa" and other things? It's good too if i can just switch back. I have ugly glitches, slowdowns etc. since i installed the driver with fedora "easy life". I know there are many threads about this but i didn't find a clear working explanation.

Is it possible for plymouth to work with the ATI Catalyst driver installed in Fedora 15 x86_64?
Is it that plymouth requires KMS and Catalyst doesn't provide it? With the nvidia driver, I could put a vga= line in grub and plymouth would run. Is there something similar for catalyst?

I had an earlier thread with wrong title and wasn't sure of the problem at the time. Now I have some details after checking all the threads about catalyst so posting a new thread. The problem: In korganizer (or To-Do list in kontact), whenever double-clicking or right-click->Edit.. a To-Do item in the summary list window, it crashes Xorg.
[Code]...
Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting I think it has something to do with the amd/ati catalyst driver and korganizer. My video card is XFX Radeon HD5670. I have Fedora 14 x86_64 latest update with xorg 1.9.1-3. I tried catalyst 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, and kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64, 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64. Same problem.
If I use vesa driver, or from another PC with proprietary nvidia driver, no problem. Open source radeon driver works ok but sometimes the display turns off and I can't get back the display. And I need 3D. I scoured through the forum and followed the instructions exactly:

I just installed 10.04 to the second hard drive on my system, and stupidly installed the new grub to the first drive, which has my standard 9.10 OS on it. Now I cannot boot into my original system. All of the files across both disks are still intact and mountable. I'm not new to linux in general, but I'm not exactly knowledgeable, either...

I have the simple fortran codes as:
Code:
integer :: i1=2455121, i2=2455121
real :: s1=0.19123840, s2=0.20749992
real*8 :: a1, a2
a1=i1+s1; a2=i2+s2
[Code]....
When s1 and s2 are stated with 'real*8', the 64bit and 32bit systems get the same results.

I just installed Fedora 12 and while I was trying to install Skype, there was a system crash and since then I cannot install any other software or cannot even access 'add/remove software'. Whenever I try to install a software or try to open the 'add/remove software' or, 'Software Updates' I get the message
'An internal system error has occured'.
and inside it contains this-
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 2956, in __init__
self.repos.confirm_func = self._repo_gpg_confirm
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 717, in <lambda>
repos = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepos(),
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 496, in _getRepos
self.conf # touch the config class first .....
I tried these using the terminal-
yum clean all
yum metadata
sudo yum clean all
yum clean metadata
and all of these gave me the same result-
Code:
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Config Error: File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo, line: 1
"su -c 'yum -y install skype' "
Everything else is working fine, but I just can not install or update any more software.

I bought a laptop equipped with a 3DSPwireless network adapter, but I did not get a compatible driver, the one which I found on the company website (which is in Mandarin, I do not understand) seems to only work on a specific version kernel in ubuntu. This week, I came in contact with the support of 3DSP and got some sources to compile, but gives some errors, and I do not have much experience to solve them alone. Look at the output:

I recently installed opensuse on my computer due to it contracting a virus and not letting me reistall the original operating system on it. but i know nothing about this program. i have almost everything up to date and working on it. one thing i find strange is when i try to update the flash or java on it that i have to do all this extra stuff to get it to run. i do not know what programs to pull up to type the stuff down thats given in the java installation instructions. the movement of the webpages when scrolling is running slow and videos on ..... do not have as good of quality to it as it did on windows. so im assuming something is out of date or there are settings i need to adjust.

I just got an HP dv7t Select Edition. I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. On Windows, I'm able to do a lot to customize graphics settings and switch from a mobility 5650 and the integrated Intel graphics to save battery life. how do I correctly install the proprietary ATI drivers for Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit? I tried installing using the "restricted driver" pop up after first installing, but that caused my screen to go blank after rebooting.
Furthermore, is there a way to switch graphics what graphics card I'm using? When I'm at home I like being able to use the dedicated card, but when I'm away and need to save power, I would like to be able to switch to the integrated card. I don't mind having some sort of option of selecting what card to use in the BIOS or something, although being able to switch on the fly would be nice. Finally, if I make any changes, how do I undo them without having to reinstall?

I just installed Ubuntu amd64 10.04 on my Gateway LT3114u Netbook. The video card on this device is ATI Radeon� X1270. For some reason the automatic driver installed by Ubuntu is not working perfectly, I noticed that because: When the "Appearance Preferences" - "Visual Effects" are set to "Normal" or "Extra", some very weird lines and images apear, and I can�t read any word as the characters are messy. But if this setting is "None", the system works just fine!
Also, I tried to install the ATI driver and the "ATI Catalyst Control Center" and when I try to run it, it says the ATI driver is not working ok. Any tips on how to solve it? Please consider Im a begginer for Ubuntu.

I've been searching for an hour or so and can't seem to find a concrete answer. My endgame is having Ubuntu successfully installed (either 9.10 or 10.04) with a fully working Ati 4870x2. I desperately need some help on finding the proper configuration of OS version and driver version. I installed 10.04 with the 10.3 driver package from ATI's site and it was a no go - I had nothing but problems.
I would like to have full 3d acceleration so I can play some games through Wine. This is a powerful card - I know ATI doesn't have a great reputation in the Linux world but I really hope there is a driver version I can install to get some good results.The rest of my specs are in my signature I need to install 64 bit Ubuntu to make use all of the system and video ram.

Title pretty much says it all. I was working fine this morning on f15. Did an update and am now getting the above message. Have no internet access from affected machine. Running "NetworkManager" or "systemctl enable NetworkManager.service" does not fix the issue. Anyone else get this today? I know there was a similar known bug during pre-release.
