Install the atidriver in linux

Linux atidriver installation-Linux general technology-Linux technology and application information, the following is a detailed description. I believe that every time you install the atigraphics card driver, you have to input a lot of commands, which is very troublesome, and many times the installation is still unsuccessful.

In fact, there is a relatively simple way for ATI to install LINUX drivers. AMD has always been using this method, but it was not successful in the past to install it on ubuntu, which may be a problem with the driver itself, now the latest atidriver 7.12 can be installed in a simple way.

Atidriver 7.12 supports 9500 or more graphics cards, but not old graphics cards. Aiglx is supported.

Download the downloaded file to the desktop, it is recommended to change the file name: changed to: ati-driver-installer.run

Installation may require installation and compilation of necessary tool code:
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc ++ 5 linux-headers-$ (uname-r)

It's time! Open the terminal!
Enter: sudo sh ati-driver-installer.run
At this time, we should see that the terminal has a response.

Pop up!
Select Continue to Continue, and then select I Agree (I Agree)

Select Automatic Installation for Automatic installation and click "Continue" to start installation!

Wait for the installation to be completed as follows.

AMD officially recommends that you run: run/usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig -- initial
(I have not tested this command.) Let me know the result after testing!

Then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Select fglrx when selecting the driver.

Run sudo gedit/etc/X11/xorg. conf.

Add two lines in the Device segment of/etc/X11/xorg. conf: code:
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

By default, code may exist in/etc/X11/xorg. conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

If you want to enable aiglx, the two sections should be: code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "1"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Save and exit!

Some users may need to enter:
Sudo mkdir-p/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri
Sudo ln-s/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri

This may be because I use the ATI graphics card instead of the NV motherboard.

Then restart the system or restart X!

Verify that the driver is correctly installed (similar to) code:
Fglrxinfo
Display: 0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ati mobility radeon X600 SE
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7170 Release

Code:
$ Glxinfo | grep render
Direct rendering: Yes # If xgl is enabled, it must be No here. There are other information.

Common Errors:

1. If you encounter slow 2D acceleration, add the code in the Device section of/etc/X11/xorg. conf (that is, the section with fglrx:
Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"

2. If 3D acceleration is not available, try the Code:
Sudo mkdir/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/volatile
Sudo ln-sf/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/misc/fglrx. ko/lib/modules/$ (uname-r)/volatile/fglrx. ko

3. In addition, if you want to use a graphical tool to configure the video card, such as dual-head display, you can use the code:
Gksu fireglcontrol
If method 2 is used, use the code:
Gksu amdcccle
Of course, the graphic interface has limited functions. The most powerful is aticonfig. The latest version of the Control Center has some new things. You can try it.

4. If/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so is missing, run the following code:
Sudo ln-s/usr/lib // usr/X11R6/lib/modules

5. If libGL. so.1: cannot open shared object file is displayed when you run fglrxinfo, the Code is as follows:
Sudo ln/usr/lib/libGL. so.1.2/usr/lib/libGL. so.1

6. If there are other problems, such as nforc4's chip (mainly the K8N of asus), that you are still running on mesa, without 3d acceleration, you can see here:

After the driver is installed, make necessary video settings. Otherwise, playing the video will affect you!

Totem, modify ~ In the/gnome2/totem_config file, change # video. driver: auto to video. driver: xshm.

If mplayer is used, right-click the setting and modify X11 (XImage/Shm.

If xine is used, right-click setting and select experience_level as the second option in the GUI. Then select xshm from the Video tag.
Restart XINE.

For VLC

1. Launch VLC.
2. Go to Settings?> Preferences ....
3. In the left-hand pane, expand the Video section, then select Output modules.
4. In the bottom-right corner of the window, enable the Advanced options checkbox.
5. New options will appear in the right-hand pane. For Video output module, select X11 video output from the drop-down menu.
6. Click on Save in the bottom-left of the window, and exit the program.
