I am very happy because the driver work fine


But I failed to install it on Fedora 7 :mad:

Where I can find the best guide to install it on fedora!!!

Any one have any question about the driver or any thing, ask me.

[Michael]

./ati-driver.run --buildpkg Fedora/F7

Install compat-libstdc++, install the resulting RPMs once you have all the devel tools and libraries installed, and restart X. Where are you running into problems with Fedora 7?

[nasser]

OK, I will try it on fedora 7 shortly

but now I have a big problem in Ubuntu.

I don`t know why my System is hang shortly after use the computer.

There is a problem happened to me during installing driver, it was:
error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


and I fixed it by:
sudo cp /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
Do I have done the right thing!
