HOW-TO made by Sexer.
Translation by Xephandor


Ubuntu/7.04 ATI fglrx 8.36.5
Pre Requisits :
-Modificar el xorg.cof

Code:

$sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Go to the end of the file and add:

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

This is due to the fact that the ATI drivers doesn't support Composite, and Ubuntu has Composite enabled.

Delete the OpenSource drivers

Go to Synaptics (the packet manager) and search for the "xserver-xorg-video-ati". Delete it, and delete the "xserver-xorg-video-all" too. If you're a command-line lover, use this:

sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-all

IMPORTANT: IF YOU DO JUST HAVE THIS DRIVERS AND YOU DON'T FINISH THIS HOW-TO, YOUR XSERVER WILL STOP WORKING!!! You can still reinstall the drivers by logging in as root and writting this in a console:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-all

-Installing the necessary tools:

Go to the console and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) wget

Driver Installation:

Delete all the "fglrx" packages you can. I recommend you to search for them with Synaptics.

You can find this ones:

fglrx-amdcccle, fglrx-control
fglrx-kernel-2.6.20-15 generic
fglrx-kernel-source
xorg-driver-fglrx
xorg-driver-fglrx-dev

Or, you can use this in a terminal:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-control fglrx-kernel-2.6.20-15 generic fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev --purgue

Download the drivers:

You can do it from:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...x86.x86_64.run

And with the console:

mkdir -p ~/fglrx
cd ~/fglrx
wget "https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run"

Generate the packages: ONLY FROM THE CONSOLE:

cd ~/fglrx
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/7.04

Install the packages:

cd ~/fglrx
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Delete the old kernel

sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.deb

Block the previous modules:

sudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

Edit the line:

DISABLED_MODULES=""
por:
DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx"

Go to the Synaptic package manager and search fot "restricted" and delete them. It will ask you to delete some other packages, just press yes.

Fix the broken dependencies:

sudo apt-get -f install

Compile the "kernel module"

sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant update
sudo module-assistant build fglrx
sudo module-assistant install fglrx
sudo depmod -a

Configuration:

METHOD 1:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.for.ati
sudo aticonfig --initial --force
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv

That way it integrates the module fglrx to the xorg.conf
IMPORTANT: IF THE "sudo aticonfig --initial --force" COMMAND DOESN'T WORK, YOU'LL LOSE ALL THE CONFIG ON xorg.conf AND YOU'LL HAVE TO USE THE METHOD 3!!!!!!


METHOD 2:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And edit this line:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection

edit the Driver line in order to make it look like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "fglrx"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection

METHOD 3:
Make a xorg.conf from scrach. This will delete your modifications on this file, so backup it!

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.for.ati
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

In the config window choose "fglrx" as driver and the resolutions you want.



Reboot your Computer!



Verifying the driver installation:

(Open a console)

glxgears
fgl_glxgears
glxinfo | grep OpenGL

If you get no errors and you can see the gears, it means you've installed the drivers correctly! If not, post it here

(open a console)

glxinfo | grep direct

If it says "direct rendering: yes" now you can pwn at Regnum!

Let me tell you something, and I don't want to sound rude, but...


I HATE ONLINE TRANSLATORS!!!!

It's always better to be able to speak and not to depend of a computer, translation is something too human to let a machine do it. And how can a computer translate sarcasm or a joke? Just humans can

Anyway, use google translators when you can't call a translator :P

I don't understand, these translators are made by humans, so it's not the translator that automaticly translates the word/sentence, it's the code that humans have wrote that does it.

And if you use a translator you don't want to know if something is a joke, you want to know what it says, not if it says anything funny right?

And i may agree that having someone else to translate for you is better then using a pc, but i prefer online translators because they are fast, they do their job anytime any where and they never say no. A friend may say no for some reason but a online translator never will.

EDIT: Sorry if i sound extremely Sarcastic/rude, its late and im tired.

Ok, you're right... You can't learn spanish just for this tutorial :P
I meant that it's better to know a language than to depend on a machine, i didn't say it was wrong to use the translator just for this.
As a side note, if he had used this online translator, the result would have been a disaster, since the terminal and package names are in english

The problem is that you need to understand the idea and then translate... You can't just translate word by word, you have to remake the sentence in the other language... As far as I know, the developments on automatic translators just take some common structures and search for an equivalent.
The code is just telling the translator what to do with a set of words... It's not actually translating, it's something like to transliterate.
And when it doesn't find a match, it just translates word-by-word.

Well, I see that you didn't get the point... I mean that some things (like sarcasm or a joke) can't be translated. The same can happen with some structures or idiomatic expressions.

I was saying that a human is always better, and if you have the chance to call a translator instead than using some online translator you'll get a far better translation.

That's true.. :P

[Angelwinged_Devil]

I think babelfish delivers a better translation than google translator. Look at altavista.com for babelfish
