misfitpierce Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ok so here's the deal... I had no problem installing the ATI drivers from website on 2007.0 but on 2007.1 I get this Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory You may override the detected version using the following syntax: X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] The following values may be used for <xdir>: x430 XFree86 4.3.x x430_64a XFree86 4.3.x 64-bit x680 X.Org 6.8.x x680_64a X.Org 6.8.x 64-bit x690 X.Org 6.9.x x690_64a X.Org 6.9.x 64-bit x700 X.Org 7.0.x x700_64a X.Org 7.0.x 64-bit x710 X.Org 7.1.x x710_64a X.Org 7.1.x 64-bit Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.JH4355 It says I can replace but am baffled at what it says right here " You may override the detected version using the following syntax: X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install] " Can someone break it down for me on how exactly to override so I can install the drivers for my card off the site?

misfitpierce Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Nevermind I got it to install by using --buildpkg and built a package for Mandriva 2007 and it installed fine. Thanks anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, I can across your error mesage and i seem to get the exact same error when i try to install the Ati driver for my 9550 graphics card. Im trying to get dual screen to work on mine, lol. I'm about 2 days new to Mandriva, so i dont have a clue about --buildpkg, so was wondering if you could walk me through the commands you had to do in order to successfully install the driver on yours please. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
