Temporay fix to get fglrx working in f7
There is a temporary fix you can downgrade the xorg server ( if you update xorg after fix it will break fglrx )
For 32-bit
su -
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.2.0-6.fc7.i386.rpm
For 64-bit
su -
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.2.0-6.fc7.x86_64.rpm
Then ban xorg from updating
gedit /etc/yum.conf
and edit to below
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
exclude=xorg-x11-server-Xorg*
metadata_expire=1800
# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
The livna fglrx f7 drivers have been removed from livna so if you want them try downloading from here
( kmod-fglrx-8.36.5-3.2.6.21_1.3228.fc7.i686.rpm for new kernel included )
http://www.linux-ati-drivers.homecall.co.uk/livna/
or use the freshrpms driver
rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fre ... 1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
yum install ati-x11-drv
reboot
you will need to edit xorg.conf
You need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
then check the driver section and change the driver to "fglrx"
and add these sections
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
save the changes and restartx
Please note that you will need to reverse the edit to yum.conf after the ATI driver problem is fixed ( in about a months time ) to be able to update xorg-x11-server-Xorg
To get fglrx working for your card would probably need you to downgrade xorg to 7.1 and to use a 2.6.18 or 2.6.19 kernel.
I still use a FC6 kernel in F7
[root@localhost leigh]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2798.fc7 #1 SMP Wed Jun 6 00:12:12 BST 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost leigh]# yum list kernel
Installed Packages
kernel.i686 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.18-1.2798.fc7 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 installed
[root@localhost leigh]#
这是 fedoraforum.org 上看到的,应该是安装上面的操作后就可以使用 Desktop Effects 了!
稍后我验证一下。。。 |
