====== ATI fglrx Drivers ======

ATI Stinks, P-U.

I installed Fedora's kmod-fglrx, and Livna's x11-fglrx-drv or something like that.  The official ATI drivers won't build, period, and give no useful errors.

Did I mention ATI stinks??

How to install [[http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/linux64-radeon.html|ATI drivers]] on Fedora Core 6

<code>
ati-driver-installer-8.29.6.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
</code>


<code>
# glxinfo | grep direct

If the output is direct rendering: Yes, you have installed your drivers correctly.

However, if you have an AMD64 processor, you will need to add iommu=off to the kernel line in your /etc/grub.conf file, like this:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet iommu=off

Moreover, if you have an Intel motherboard, you will need to add the following line to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, right below Driver “fglrx”:

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
