Ok, so I'm trying to follow all the stuff about extracting the folder, then using that .tgz file, extracting it and using make. This is the output I get.

I'm confused about alot of the symbolic link stuff, mainly because they all seem to be referencing 64-bit systems whereas I'm using 32-bit. Will those symbolic link commands work but use lib instead of lib64?

[Michael]

yes they will work.

[gigabz666]

Thanks. I went ahead and everything is working. 3D is coming from ATI and glxgears is running extremely smoothly, 1850 FPS compared to 300FPS before and 150 before that. fgl_glxgears runs around 300FPS.

I'm trying to remember what I did to help anyone else who might have similar problems although I most followed the help you gave to exobg at http://phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=318&page=5

I did everything as root. I changed directories and used a symbolic link as follows

cd /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
ln -s libqt-mt.so libqt.so

Returned to the directory of the extracted files from fglrx_panel_sources.tgz then used make once more. This produced an error with the following in

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu

so

yum install libXmu-devel (I think! It was the devlopment packages for libXmu)

then got

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm

and so

yum install libXxf86vm-devel

That then worked fine for me unlike exobg.

So I used

sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

which produced

kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6-8.34.8-1.fc6.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-8.34.8-1.fc6.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-devel-8.34.8-1.fc6.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-control-panel-8.34.8-1.fc6.i386.rpm

I then used rpm -Uvh and the name of those packages in the order above. Then used CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart X server and everything worked fine.

Thanks for all your help Michael, and sorry for being so pedantic with everything but being a newbie, I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. Cheers for everything.

help me solve the problem,please......
I had read so many subjects about ATI driver...but this still doesn't work out...
Michael ,I know you have many experiences on ATI drivers ...tell me the way ...THX...

[Michael]

What is output of:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

[wangrui2885]

What is output of:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) fglrx(0): GART is not initialized, disabling DRI
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable

[Michael]

That is the problem there with GART.

What kernel are you using?

[wangrui2885]

That is the problem there with GART.

What kernel are you using?

didn't you see my signiture?

FC6 2.6.19-1.2911

so what's the problem ???

[Michael]

Didn't 2.6.19-1.2911 come out only yesterday (March 2)?

Had it worked with any previous kernels?
