There's always the ati website where you can download drivers for your card. Or, go here download the "install-radeon.sh", run the script and see if that doesn't get the driver installed for you.
Just a short question...
is it possible to activate the XFree86-DRI Support in Knoppix, or do i have to recompile the Kernel or update to a higher Version of XFree86?
My Knoppix works as Debian-HDInstall with Radeo9700Pro and Dell 1702FP TFT.
Thx'n Greetz,
Patrick

Thanks a lot for your reply!
Can i take the "install-radeon.sh" from Kernel-2.4.21Version?
I use Knoppix 3.3 and Kernel 2.4.22-xfs
For now i have tried the offical way by ATI, but without a happy end
This are my Steps:
At first i downloaded the Driver from ATI.com and build a Debian Package with ALIEN:
alien -i fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm
Then i force the Package to my System with:
dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx-glc22_4.3.0-4.2_i386.deb
After that, i downloaded the Kernel-Sources 2.4.22-xfs for Knoppix and put it to the System in that way:
cd '/usr/src/'
tar xvjf kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs.tar.bz2
rm linux
ln -s kernel-source-2.4.22-xfs linux
cp /boot/config-2.4.22-xfs linux/.config
cd linux
make oldconfig
make dep
Now i try to compile the Kernel and get an Error-Message:
cd '/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/'
./make.sh
Error:
XFree86 drm includes at /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/build/include/../drivers/char/drm do not fit this driver.
This driver is designed to only work with X4.1.0 or higher.
You can match this by getting Linux kernel 2.4.8 or higher.
What's wrong???
Thank's for help,
Patrick
Do you have the xlibs-dev package installed?Originally Posted by Lunik3
Read the script- Kano has done more than just write a script that downloads an .rpm, converts it to a .deb and installs it. I think it's worth a shot. Wish I had a 9700Pro to test it on.Originally Posted by Lunik3
i've checked the Script in a Root-Shell without any positive results
Kanos Script means Error: No ATI RADEON adapter found.
maybe a problem of the vendor? i do not have the original build, just a hercules thing...
@Stephen
Do you have the xlibs-dev package installed?
i dont think so... is this a must for ati-driver-compiling?
i know... i should read more
me again... xlibs-dev and mesa is installed, but no changes
The error was saying you needed xfree >= 4.1 so I was thinking the dev libraries were not installed, for the no Radeon error you probably have one of those Dell altered chips that they seem to do so much of it would screw up properly working drivers you are trying to install just a hunch but I have read many posts about SB Live chips from them not working because of this so it would not suprise me at all for them to do it to the video chips as well.Originally Posted by Lunik3
I think the error-message has an error
My system is based on Knoppix 3.3 with XFree 4.3 and i do not have the Dell-Radeon. It is a "normal" build from Hercules. The ATI Website says, that the new Driver Version 3.2.5 detects also the "Powered by ATI" cards. Hmmmm but i'm asking me: "how"? right now i have no resonance from ATI's support and i can't see any hard mistakes in my procedure. All libraries are onboard, i have recompiled the Kernel for best results with a Pentium4 and my Dell System Bios has the latest Version too. Everything works well, except the damn accelerated 3d graphics.
The installation of the Audigy2 was an joy in comparison to the Radeon.

i have compiled my Kernel again and now it is possible to start Kano's Script. But it ends up in a Message who means that the sources are unavailable?!
I try it later again. maybe it's just a short disturbance on her driver-servers?! hope so...
