</div>Hi,<br>
<br>
I installed ATI in Debian dozens of times. Just tried the same process<br>
on SL 5.5 here few minutes before.<br>
<br>
1) linux-cat107-install.pdf from ATI download website says what files<br>
you have to have installed prior to ATI instalation/kernel compilation<br>
<br>
<a href="https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat107-inst.pdf" target="_blank">https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat107-inst.pdf</a><br>
<br>
2) Radeon HD 5xxxx is included in the 10.7 list of ATI drivers<br>
<br>
3) Installation went smoothly without a problem<br>
<br>
4) ATI driver is named fglrx*<br>
<br>
5) search for its mutations ;-) there:<br>
lib/modules/fglrx<br>
lib-/modules/"kernel-sig"/kernel/drivers/char/drm<br>
<br>
kernel-sig = your kernel's signature<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for your advice .<br><br> I refered to the ATI driver installation doc and found the following message :<br><br>Note: If a Linux 2.6.11 or newer kernel was built with<br>
CONFIG_AGP enabled, the kernel AGP frontend is required to load<br>the fglrx kernel module. To identify whether your kernel was built<br>with CONFIG_AGP enabled, look for CONFIG_AGP=y in the<br>kernel config file, or if the 'agpgart' module is loaded.<br>
<br>And I found that module is not in CentOS 5.5 x8_64 . <br><br>So could I compile the kernel that enable that module ? <br><br>Isn't it right ? Thanks ...<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
6) Alas there is not such thing like Debian's modconf to conveniently<br>
check/manage installed kernel modules; there is no such file<br>
like Debian's /etc/modules with a list of additionally installed kernel<br>
modules.<br>
<br>
(Perhaps someone hints us how to peep into SL kernel modules?)<br>
<br>
7) ATI installs aticccle manager + fgl_glxgears (with 3D rotating cube)<br>
<br>
8) You __have to change__ "manually" monitor's VertRefresh and HorizSync<br>
data in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, e.g.:<br>
<br>
Section "Monitor"<br>
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"<br>
HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0<br>
VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0<br>
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"<br>
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"<br>
Option "DPMS" "true"<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
and add "Modes" line in Screen section:<br>
<br>
Section "Screen"<br>
Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"<br>
Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"<br>
Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"<br>
DefaultDepth 24<br>
SubSection "Display"<br>
Viewport 0 0<br>
Depth 24<br>
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"<br>
EndSubSection<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
<br>
9) WARNING :-(<br>
<br>
ATI worked good but I had impression that Xorg's latest radeon driver<br>
(found in SL 5.5) worked better, especially during MC window resizing -<br>
radeon was making less flickering than ATI proprietary driver.<br>
<br>
The warning relates to system fonts- ATI changed my system fonts to<br>
"something ugly" and in 6 pt size! I use IceWM, but every apps got the<br>
same fonts and nothing could be done via IceWM settings, of course.<br>
Thank God, I had a magnifying glass at hand...<br>
<br>
So said I changed X11 settings to previous ones, namely to SL radeon<br>
driver.<br>
<br>
BTW. How to change system font in SL? I tried to find out thru google<br>
search but to no avail. And there is no such script like<br>
system-config-fonts, why?<br>
<br>
I hope I were able to help.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
