I have some problems with making those drivers work. First I wanted to install them the easiest way just by typing as root

 

sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run

 

and choosing Install Driver 8.42.3 on X.org 7.1 and later releases. It worked with 8.40.4 on Mandriva 2007.1 but not now. Although they seemed to be installed, they didn't work correctly. Then I uninstalled them and tried to generate packages for Mandriva 2008 but also with no avail

 

[root@localhost ATI]# ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Mandriva/2008
Created directory fglrx-install.Ag9268
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I think I have all the necessary dependencies on my system. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
