ATI fglrx 8.31.5 Display Drivers

[niniendowarrior]

Radeon X800 Pro.

I've downgraded to 8.25. My 3D acceleration is all lost. I regret ever having to have thought of installing this... this has caused me more problems that I've not asked for.

EDIT:
Now I can't find the uninstaller for this 8.25. Oh god, what have I done?

What distribution are you using? If you aren't using distribution-specific packages, if you extract the driver installer found inside the fglrx-install directory should be something like a fglrx-uninstall.sh.

Have you considered using the open-source Radeon drivers or are you in it for performance.

I've tried the Livna Yum rpms for 8.26. Nothing. *sigh* I think I'll go look for an R200 gpu next time.

EDIT:

I appreciate your effort Michael. Here's my specs:

Fedora Core 4.
ATi Radeon X800 Pro 256
P4 3.2 GHz.
Asus P4P800-E Deluxe.
1 GB RAM

Michael, I play on my Linux box. Remember Vdrift?

[Michael]

Have you tried generating your own Fedora RPMs instead of using Livna? Or since you're using FC4, even if you run the graphical fglrx installer it should install fine for Stentz.

Ah yes, wasn't sure if you had multiple Linux boxes or not

I've used the graphical installer. The only packages I saw I could generate where RHEL so I didn't bother. It seems that the livna packages aren't very useful because even after running fglrx-uninstall on 8.25... the Xorg log still insists on using it.

Normally, I'd overlap driver installations of ATi cards and they didn't cause any problems. Now it seems that 8.31 has caused some problems and now I can't get anything right.

./ati-driver-installer-8.31.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC4 should generate the RPMs for you.

I've generated the rpms.

I'm still concerned about remnants on 8.25. I'm going to remove the livna rpms now.

What do I get from installing the devel rpm? I'm going to install the control panel rpm and the driver.

Hi Michael,

Your driver installed. No 3d acceleration just the same. If you need more info, tell me.

[Michael]

The devel RPM provides glATI.h, glxATI.h, fglrx_gamma.h, libGL.so, and other library files.

Are you able to post your xorg.conf?
