Install HD 5770 In Linux Fedora 14 - X86 (32-bit)
How this can be happen?
Although the user want to make it possibly, just follow to this step.
1 - Download the driver.
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-11-x86.x86_64.run
2 - Install driver with the following command.
[root@zahid ~]# bash ./ati-driver-installer-10-11-x86.x86_64.run
3 - Check the installation result.
Check the /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log file for the result of installation.
4 - Generate initial Xorg configuration file
*You have to generate the initial xorg.conf file which use fglrx as display device
[root@zahid ~]# aticonfig --initial
5 - Reboot
Reboot your computer.
6 - Testing
You can test the new installed driver and get the performance benchmarks for your graphic card using the following command.
[root@zahid ~]# glxgears [root@zahid ~]# fgl_glxgears
7 - Uninstallation
In case if you mess up with something, you can uninstall fglrx drivers using the following command.
[root@zahid ~]# /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
I did exactly as you said, but after I reboot I get a progress bar at the bottom of the screen with 3 colors flowing to the right and that is where my system hangs. I have an ATI HD 5770 by Sapphire and not the one as in the pic above. Did I miss something or is it just my card. I'm new to Linux and was thinking of a different Linux flavor like Ubuntu. Should I try that or is Fedora just fine?
