Hi,

How can I see my kernel version? using fedora 11

I tried installing the 9.9 ATI drivers for my Radeon 4850 last night and followed the instructions. I ran the sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-9-x86.x86_64.run to launch the ATI Proprietary Linux driver installer. Install and then when done I typed: /usr/bin/aticonfig –initial into the terminal. Restarted and got a black screen when I tried and load fedora. Anyway I did manage to remove the drivers again and fedora is working again but I still don’t have any video card drivers. Any other way I can get the ATI drivers to work?

Hi ,
I am running fedora 11 x86_64 and i have a radeon 3470, the one with two outputs for dual head. I have tried your instructions and they doesn’t work. Only one of the monitors is being displayed. Either the primary will desktop or the second monitor with just the wall paper as second monitor. I also looked at the X!! file and it had all the changes you were talking about.

This driver are not working with kernel 2.30.X at this time. The previous driver should work fine (at least for me).

Ianx,

Kernels versioned 2.6.30.* are not yet supported by drivers 9.9 so you may consider getting the older kernel version for your OS

IanX,

ATI Drivers for x86 and x86_64 comes in the same package. So the above mentioned drivers are for x86_64 as well.

Quick follow up, that i should have included in the previous post.

I actually had 9.5 running on a Mandriva spring build x86_64, however on updating the system it borked the setup and unfortunately I was unable to duplicate the steps I had taken to get it working in the first place.

C’est la vie. I guess I just have to wait to have my main dev/everything box running Linux the way it should

This is applicable for x86, is there any info on x86_64. To be more specific, I have been trying since 9.4 to get ATI/AMD driver working to no avail, progress has been made with 9.9, at least now the computer does not lock up, lol. However thus far have not been able to get 9.9 working on FC11 (currently on 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 kernel) on Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P/Ph2 955/8GB RAM/Sapphire ATI4850 1GB/DVI, as previously noted it does not hang as with previous editions however it is completely unusable.

It failed because:
Given depth (8) is not supported by fglrx driver

Do you have the default depth set to 8 (256 bit color?) in a xorg.conf file?
