Finally shifted to Ubuntu 8.10 64bit.. so thought of contributing a bit :) Will use it as my main OS from now on :) Back to Ubuntu after 1year .. The last one I loved was Gutsy Gibbon :D

Since ATI has released the latest driver for Linux with OpenGL 3.0 and lots of video playback , hybrid crossfire and overdrive enhancements ... I thought of releasing packages for Ubuntu and Mandriva...Download and installed as recommended.. Before installing please remove old drivers to avoid Xorg errors for having multiple fglrx-dkms value..



Download deb for Ubuntu 32/64bit, rpm for Mandriva Linux 2009.0 32/64 bit edition

Code: 
Ubuntu :  [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?j44sgmdnl2t[/url]

Mandriva : [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?ztm1dvrkydz[/url]

Extract the zip and place all the files at desktop.. Now open the Terminal and type

Code: 
sudo su root

cd /home/<user_name>/Desktop

3. To install it 1'st make sure no other installation is going on and after that type this

Code: 
[B]Ubuntu  32bit :[/B] sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.573-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 

[B]

Ubuntu 64bit :[/B] sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-kernel-source_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.573-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb 

[B]Mandriva[/B] :  urpmi *fglrx*.rpm

Ubuntu users make sure you activate your fglrx from Ubuntu Restricted Driver Manager after installing it, Mandriva users set your Graphics card from Mandriva CC -> Hardware.. That should do.. You can even install using GUI by download .run file from ATI site but installing from deb/rpm is easy as the zip I posted is only 30-18Mb and the run package in ~80Mb..

Navigate to ATI Catalyst Center from Main Menu .. You can use overdrive from terminal .. Type aticonfig for more help.. To check that fglrx is up and running do these

Code: 
shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ [B]fglrxinfo[/B]

display: :0.0  screen: 0

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.

OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics

OpenGL version string: 2.1.8395 Release

Have fun with ATI Catalyst..
 
Wow, back to trying Ubuntu for now huh? :D

Be a man! (in Russel Peters' Chinese voice and accent) Use Ubuntu 9.04 alpha!

I'm running it, just installed kubuntu-desktop for KDE 4.2 today too :D

So both ATI and nvidia have released OpenGL 3 support already ...
 
^^Back to MDV for now :P Dying to install Arch but stuck with exams.. will do it in free time..

Wel nvidia recently released 180.29 with better OpenGl 3.0 so do check that out..,
 
y dload individual package files when u can build one from the binary provided by ATi !!?? :)

or why even that when u can directly run the binary as root!!?? :)

8.12 had problems wid aticonfig bt 9.1 workin flawlessly on ubuntu intrepid, suse 11.1 and sabayon4 for me.
 
^^Lol.. I created the packages using the same ATI Packager... Yes ATI packager is recommend but it way too big compared to the size of packages posted...

You use Sabayon [KDE4.2 ?] .. Also have you seen my Sabayon 4 review ?
 
Will install it in few days.. Busy with studies and arch substantially take a bit more time as its a DIY based distro :_)

naah i dnt use it...i just tried the one i got wid LFY.

already read the review u posted in LFY :)

lol i saw the config in the 1st page of review n i was thinkin it must be u :P

anyways i couldnt find a work around to change the colour depth to 32bit in sabayon even though the new 9.1drivers installed properly n aticonfig too worked fine.

maybe that was bcoz my monitor was listed as VESA compatible generic device or sumthin...bt i could locate the settings to play around wid drivers.

apart from that sabayon dvd shipped wid LFY packed quiet a lot of things one can ever require.
 
tried aticonfig, tried modifyin xorg.conf to add the preferred mode..bt to no avail.

the problem is due to monitor driver rather than ATi

had similar issue on SuSe bt that got resolved after selecting different driver...incase of sabayon im nt able to locate driver settings of any device.
 
It has all amd64.deb :S

Can you please provide link for that..

On the ATI site they have Mobility Radeon HD 3200 and HD 3100.. nothing for HD 3400? :S

You can even install using GUI by download .run file from ATI site but installing from deb/rpm is easy as the zip I posted is only 30-18Mb and the run package in ~80Mb..

it needs linux-headers,build-essential,gcc,fglrx source etc to be installed -if you want to install from the ati installer.

Better install from the archive uploaded by darkstar.

I thought darkstar might have uploaded a *.zip archive containing 32-bit and 64-bit 9.1 drivers.

then ,downloading the ~100mb installer from ati site .

Ubuntu Intrepid Installation Guide - cchtml.com

explains how to create a .deb package for your system.Follow the instructions there.ATI 9.2 driver seems to have issues with X resources usage.

I cannot find 9.1 installer from ATI.

PS:Can you show what are the files in the archive(Darkstar's upload).
 


PS: dont wan 9.2 drivers as it has issues... and installing that and then uninstalling it again for 9.1.. its a waste.. would be helpfull if i find 9.1 drivers.
