Fedora103D desktop (ATIHD3200 Driver Installation)

Yesterday, due to the ATI graphics card (I am ATIHD3200), I failed to experience the beauty of the 3D desktop under Fedora10. Today I found some posts and finally installed the graphics card driver. The method is: 1. install the driver su-rpm-Uvhhttp: // configure

Yesterday, due to ATI graphics card (my name is ati HD3200), I failed to experience the beauty of 3D desktop under Fedora 10. Today I found some posts and finally installed the graphics card driver,

Method: 1. Install the driver

Su-

Rpm-Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm

Yum install akmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx

For friends who use a 64-bit system, a few extra steps are required:

Rm-f/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Ln-s/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so

Ldconfig

2. Install system-config-display

Su

Yum install system-config-display

Then run system-config-display. You do not need to change anything. Click OK. This step is to generate an xorg. conf file.

3. Edit xorg. conf

First, call the ati display configuration for preliminary work.

Su

Aticonfig -- initial-f

Then manually edit xorg. conf

Su

Gedit/etc/X11/xorg. conf

Add the following fields:

Section "DRI"

Mode 0666

EndSection

Add the following content in the Device field:

Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

Option "VideoOverlay" "on"

4. Back up the existing initrd (Translator's note: This file records the location information of the kernel module and modifies it to prevent loading of the existing radeon driver)

Su

Mv/boot/initrd-'uname-R'. img/boot/initrd-'uname-R'. img. backup

Regenerate the new initrd so that the radeon module will not be forcibly loaded

Su

Mkinitrd-v/boot/initrd-'uname-R'. img 'uname-R'

5. Edit grub. conf.

Su

Gedit/boot/grub. conf

Add "nopat" at the end of the kernel row.

6. restart the computer.

This step is required, otherwise the fglrx kernel module will not compile.

After restarting the computer, the font is blurred and the screen size is changed. You cannot modify the grub. conf file in the etc file in title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117. fc10.i686)

Root (hd0, 7)

Kernel/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root = UUID = 2cf621b5-3135-41af-afc1-6fda079450ca rhgb quiet add the last line vga = 792 (because I chose 1024*768) Save it OK !!!

But the font is still a bit fuzzy (now I am trying to solve it)

After the driver is installed, start to install Compiz

Method: 1) install compiz:

Yum install compiz

(2) install compiz-fusion:

Yum install compiz-fusion *

(3) install fusion *

Yum install fusion *

(4) install emerald themes (that is, window decoration)

Yum install emerald-themes

(5) install the taskbar tray (imitating the taskbar of Mac OS X, the effect is unique)

Yum install avant-window-navigator

After the above steps, we have completed the layout of 3D on Fedora 10. You can find the compiz fusion icon in application-> system tools.
