LINUX ati 驱动安装

csbbb

The ATi and nVIDIA driver RPMs provided by livna.org are especially
designed for Fedora. If you are using yum and already have it
configured with the Livna repository for your Fedora version, you can
skip this section. If not, add the Livna repository by executing the
following command as root:
# rpm -Uhv
http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
Next, import the Livna GPG Key:
# rpm --import
http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
To test it, try to get info about a release currently provided by Livna repository:
# yum info kmod-nvidia
If you got the file information correctly, it's safe to go on to the next step.
Unfortunately, Fedora Core 6 installs the i586 architecture kernel by
default. Even worse, if you choose to have virtualization support
during Fedora installation, you will end up with a kernel-xen which you
need to get rid of as soon as possible. For video drivers to get
installed correctly, you will need to have kernel for i686. In order to
make this process a little bit easier, you need to install Yum Extender:
# yum install yumex
Fire it up from the Kmenu / System / Yum Extender (or type yumex in a
terminal), check if Livna repository is in the repository list, go to
Remove, select your current kernel and kernel-devel (only if its arch
is i586 or has xen in its name), press add to queue, then go to
Install, search for Kernel, select the kernel and kernel-devel for i686
arch, press add to queue, go to Queue, press Process Queue, wait until
it's done and reboot your computer. Only then will it be safe to go to
the next step.
How to install nVIDIA drivers
Assuming Yum has been correctly installed, you can obtain the latest Nvidia drivers by typing:
# yum install kmod-nvidia
This command will install the nVIDIA driver and kernel module. To
verify the installation completed successfully, log out of your current
session and log back in. Before the X server restarts, you should see
the nVIDIA logo briefly. Open up a terminal and type:
# glxinfo | grep direct
If the output to this command is direct rendering: Yes, you are good to
go. Also, a reboot might be required for the full effect of the kernel
module to be realized on some machines.
How to install ATi drivers
Again, your Yum must be configured with the Livna repository, as it's
one of the few repositories that provide video driver RPMs especially
designed for Fedora Core. To install the ATi drivers’ package, type
this command as root:
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx kmod-fglrx glx-utils
This installs the ATi driver and kernel module. To test the
installation, log off your current session, log back in and type this
command:
# 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"
Good luck!
