Gul Dukat Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) If you configured easy urpmi, you could do it the easy-way by installing it with urpmi. urpmi ati-xorg should do the trick. Or if you want to install the offficial ATi-drivers, you should install the right kernel-source first and follow the installation instructions on the ATi-site.

ianw1974 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Not sure how that post helps anyone, but never mind. Maybe try: urpmi dkms-ati to get you going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralSlash Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 If it's left you at a terminal prompt when you boot up, run /usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig --initial again. This exact thing happened to me... It didn't configure right the first time, dropped me into a terminal prompt on restart, but running aticonfig again made it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
