为Linux操作系统安装ATI芯片的显卡驱动

◆1. Download page:

http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

◆2. Choose one to download:

"Linux x86 --> All-in-wonder --> All-in-wonder 9600 series" is a new version,

but "Linux x86 --> FireGL --> FireGL T2-128" is an old version.

这个选择很多是"殊途同归"的, 不一定非选得与自己显卡完全一样, 而要多点点, 找到近期发布的版本, 然后点"Release Notes", 如果有自己显卡的型号, 这个驱动就可以用。

My down: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/ ... 40.4-x86.x86_64.run

◆3. To create installation packages if possible:

./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg

My OS "Debian/lenny" is in the list, Very good! It will be much easyer to manage packages.

./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/lenny

Four '.deb' packages and a '.changes' file will be created.

◆4. Install packages:

dpkg -i fglrx-amdcccle_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-driver_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-driver-dev_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-src_8.40.4-1_i386.deb

◆5. Compile kernel module:

Module source is here: '/usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2'.

./make.sh

cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/fglrx.ko

depmod -ae

Perhaps you cann't insert the module now, because maybe other modules of display are already in the kernel. It comes normal after reboot.

◆6. Edit 'xorg.conf', add:

# to avoid AIGLX error in X log

Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"

EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"

EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"

EndSection

# to avoid a "Known Issues" in "Release Notes"

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "disable"
EndSection

◆7. Over clock or slow clock:

#apt-get install rovclock

This command has the same function as NV's 'nvclock'.

* 后来在debian更新时发现, debian的源里已经有fglrx驱动, 是上面那4个包, 加一个'control'包, 而且它的版本还略新一点, 立即更新. 这也表示debian用户可以不用前4个步骤, 直接在源里搜索'fglrx', apt安装, 再编译内核模块就可以了。
