Ati Drivers: Work
built 613 days ago
With the latest drivers from ATI (8.42.3 of November 21st, 2007) fgl_glxgears will not work initially. The reason for this stems from the fact that there are two versions of libGL.so.1.2 installed, one from fglrx that goes to /usr/X11R6/lib and one from Mesa that resides in /usr/lib. This problem can be solved as follows: Switch to runlevel 3 (init 3), move to /usr/lib, delete libGL.so.1.2 (only this one!) and create a softlink to the library from fglrx: ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2. After that, fgl_glxgears should work.

Not to insult the great effort put on here by narf and blanka, but with Bootcamp, there is no need for any further XOM development, including ATI drivers. Bootcamp XP runs more stable, and all the drivers just work, with no tricks. And honestly, in the time you waste fooling with getting stuff to work in XOM, you could have reinstalled OSX and did the bootcamp install.

There are ... open source Linux ATI drivers. These are not the official Linux drivers from ATI those are closed source. However they do function fairly well, especially for non 3D work. These are a useful reference showing how such drivers are written.

If you want to install ATI display drivers for Windows 2003 (any version), download an ATI driver for 2k/Xp, right click on the installer exe, and hit Properties. Click the "Compatibility" tab, and select "Windows XP." After that, it should work. For post-installation troubleshooting, click here and here.

Depending how recently updated your Edgy installation is, you may run into problems with the ATI installer complaining about syntax errors. A recent Edgy update changed the shell sh from bash to dash. You will have to do some extra work on the command line by temporarily making the sh command redirect to bash instead.

Please make sure to install _ALL_ of ati.2 binaries (if you compile _apply_, _make_ and _install_ patches (see ati_xv/README)). If you just install modules it will _not_ work. Installation process for 4.2.0 is identical (
