Well, it seems ATI programmers don't loaf at all. :D As we have discussed, they let out new version of drivers - 8.32.5. Maybe with those I will have more luck :P BTW, on their site there’re 3 notes regarding driver installation: The above drivers support English only. The display driver requires POSIX shared memory to be enabled on the system. Kernel Source package is no longer required if Kernel Header package is installed. Hmm, I don't remember installing any "Kernel Header package". Maybe that's the problem...

Hmm, is the driver within easyurpmi repositories the same version, as on ATI's page? I mean is it the newest version available? I wanted to have newest possible version, as this should be the one, that would allow to run/access most of the functions of my graphic card. Am I right? And do You think that this way of installing ATI drivers will give me better chances to avoid error I'm getting, when trying to install the one from ATI's support page? P.S. Pytam z ciekawosci ianw1974, jestes Polakiem z pochodzenia? ;)

When speaking about Linux games... According to my knowledge, one of the most anticipated titles of the coming year, Splash Damage's Enemy Territory Quake Wars, will be released for Linux too. I'm looking forward to buy it, as Battlefield 2142 is a mistake for me, not only having in mind all of the stability and gameplay issues with BF2 patches. Anyone is planning to buy this game? Should be a really amazing FPS :D

Witaj ianw1974! Coz za niespodzianka spotkac kogos, kto mowi po polsku na zagranicznym forum :) Thanks for so quick reply. I surely will make use of Your suggestions, as soon as I will have access to my computer. Now I'm in another city, where I work, but on Friday I'm coming back home. So probably in two or three days I'll answer back Your post. Till that I have only one question: why ATI driver installation process can't recognize X.org version of my Mandriva system? When searching for clues about my issue I found out, that that's not only my problem with MD2007, but also other users, who have ATI graphic cards, have similar issues. Are they incompatible with this system or something? I doubt that but simply haven't the slightest notion what's going on :unsure: Pozdrowienia z Polski :P

O.K., I know that this or similar issue's have been discussed all over the net, but after reading so many posts on so many forums, that I simply couldn’t event count, I still haven't found the right answer that solves my problem. No one could help me, although I post description of following issue on few different polish forums Now it's time for an English one ;) First of all I have Mandriva 2007 Power Pack installed on my computer, which most critical components are: 1. mainboard - ASUS A7V600-X 2. processor - AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (32bit) 3. graphics card - Sapphire Radeon X800Pro 256 MB GDDR3 AGP 8x And now to the point. I cannot make 3D acceleration to work. At the moment, after reinstalling Mandriva, I'm using a driver provided with MD2007PP. I can't make 3D desktop to work - it is saying that I haven’t 3D acceleration. In TransGaming's Cedega, when using a test, it says that: 1. OpenGL drivers don’t seem to be properly configured (OpenGL Direct Rendering FAILED); 2. My graphics card doesn’t seem to be properly configured either (3D acceleration test FAILED). When I'm using Harddrake2007 to see the info about my graphics card, it's something like that (apologize for eventual mistakes, but I've translated this from polish by myself): Identification Provider: ATI Technologies Inc. Description: Radeon X800 Pro Carrier class: DISPLAY_VGA Connection Bus: PCI [ strange, cause I've got AGP 8X ] PCI Bus #: 1 PCI Device #: 0 PCI Function #: 0 Manufacturer ID: 0x1002 Device ID: 0x4a49 Subcontractor ID: 0x174b Secondary device ID: 0x0d62 Other Module: Card:ATI Radeon (fglrx) When I'm trying to install the latest ATI drivers, which are 8.31.5 for the moment, I got a strange error: Creating directory fglrx-install Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.31.5.......................................................................... .......... ================================================== ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager ================================================== Detected configuration: Architecture: i686 (32-bit) X Server: Unknown X Window cp: cannot execute stat on `x710/usr/X11R6/bin/*': There isn't any such file or catalog find: install/usr/bin/fireglcontrolpanel: There isn't any such file or catalog Regardless of the installation program continues but displays as per the attachment. I know from ATI's website, that this version of drivers requires X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, and to my knowledge Mandriva 2007 PP has 7.1. Any suggestions how to resolve my problem? Thx in advance :D P.S. Sorry if my English is difficult to stomach, but I don’t have much contact with spoken English where I live, unfortunately :sad:

Not only on laptops. I simply can't get my Sapphire's Radeon X800Pro to work properly with the latest ATI drivers. Still no 3D acceleration :(
