Fedora8 (kernel version 2.6.23.9-85. fc8) installs the ATI7.12 official driver and supports the 1440x900 wide screen

To enjoy the 3D desktop of Fedora8, I installed Fedora8 a few days ago. However, my HPnx6330 is the resolution of the 1440x900 wide screen, and it never works properly. The resolution of 1440x900 is up to 1152x864, and xorg. conf cannot be properly displayed either. The atidriver cannot properly identify my 1440x900 display. After several days of exploration, we can use the 1440X900 resolution normally. The following are some of my experiences over the past few days:

Download the latest 7.12 driver http://www.ati.com in ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run

Use the./ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run -- buildpkg Fedora/F8 to get the four installation packages:

ATI-fglrx-8.443.1-1.f8.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-control-center-8.443.1-1.f8.i386.rpm
ATI-fglrx-devel-8.443.1-1.f8.i386.rpm
Kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.23.9-85.fc8-8.443.1-1.f8.i386.rpm

An error may be prompted that the file cannot be decompressed. What is forgotten? It seems that the file under/etc/ati/cannot be generated. In this case ~ Create the. rpmmacros file in the directory. The file content is:

% _ Unpackaged_files_terminate_build 0

Run rpm-Uvh *. rpm to install four rpm packages

Yum install mesa-libGL * (you can also install it using yumex)

Download the boss

Installation command: rpm-Uvh -- nodeps -- oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-17.fc8.i386.rpm (this is found online and is said to be a new version of xerver-xorg not compatible with the driver)

Modify the xorg. conf file. My xorg. conf file is as follows:

Run glxinfo | grep direct to obtain direct rendering: No (............ LIBGL_DEBUG = verbose) prompt, and then run LIBGL_DEBUG = verbose glxinfo to get the/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri /? (The specific file name is missing) Prompt, manually create the/usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory, then run ln-s/usr/lib/dri/usr/X11R6/lib/modules. run glxinfo again, which should be direct rendering: Yes.

Run the application-System Tools-AMD Catalyst Control Center, select none zoom (image Center) from Display Manager-Digital Monitor (1)-image scaling ), then the Display changes to the physical 1152x864 resolution (the outer ring of the Display is black). On the hardware tab in system-management-Display, configure the Display type, and select Generic LCD Display LCD Panel 1440x900, then restart.

Choose system> preference> hardware> screen resolution 1440x900 to display properly.

In this way, the monitor can be normally supported.
