ianw1974 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think: sh filename.run should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) If you haven't already done so, please read and set up urpmi using these instructions: setting up easyurpmi. Then install dkms-ati with the gui software management, or in a terminal as root do urpmi dkms-ati If you must have the latest drivers, open a terminal in the directory where your .run file is located and as root do ./name-of-your-file.run replacing 'name-of-your-file' with your run file name.

ianw1974 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 If you must have the latest drivers, open a terminal in the directory where your .run file is located and as root do./name-of-your-file.run replacing 'name-of-your-file' with your run file name. Might require a: chmod +x filename.run first before the ./filename.run will work. The: sh filename.run will save you having to chmod the file first in order to get it to run :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zibi1981 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Based on my experience with installing ATI Proprietary Drivers on Mandriva, I would definitely dissuade You from installing them using this method. I only managed to successfully do that with the following procedure: 1. Download newest version of the driver - for Your card it should be this one. 2. Save it anywhere on HDD. Then log in in a console, and move to that location. 3. Type in [zibi1981@localhost ATI]$ sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Mandriva/2007 You should see something like Created directory fglrx-install.F31831Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.36.5.......................................................................... ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ................................................................................ . ............................................................................... ================================================== ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager ================================================== Generating package: Mandriva/2007 Package /home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/ATI/ati-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm has been successfully generated Package /home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/ATI/ati-utils-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm has been successfully generated Package /home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/ATI/dkms-ati-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm has been successfully generated Package /home/zibi1981/Pobieranie/ATI/atieventsd-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm has been successfully generated Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.F31831 4. You'll get four packages: a. ati-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm b. ati-utils-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm c. atieventsd-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm d. dkms-ati-8.36.5-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm Now install them in the correct order. 5. After successful installation run XFdrake as a root to configure Your graphics card. [root@localhost ATI]# XFdrake Choose closed driver. 6. Restart. It should work. Well, it did for me. Unfortunately there's a catch... The new Mandriva Spring 2007.1 uses X.org version 7.2 as You can see below [zibi1981@localhost ATI]$ X -version X Window System Version 7.2.0 Release Date: 22 January 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.2 Build Operating System: UNKNOWN Current Operating System: Linux localhost 2.6.17-13mdv #1 SMP Fri Mar 23 19:03:31 UTC 2007 i686 Build Date: 10 April 2007 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present and the ATI Proprietary Driver supports X.org only up to version 7.1, at least till now. So my "recipe" works for Mandriva 2007.0. I didn't check it on 2007.1.
