ATI drivers for Linux

Linux ATI driver for Radeon, FireGL and Mobility boards

How much is the speed gain versus the opensource drivers?

Project Homepage / Availability

http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html

Status

Current version: 8.8.25

Problems & Help

The following patch may be needed for kernels >= 2.6.10: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33798874

For kernels >= 2.6.11-rc1 try the following patch: http://www.gehirn.org.uk/wiki/images/8.8.25-kernel-2.6.11+.patch

If the ATI driver works only without the hardware acceleration, take into consideration that fglrx_dri.so was linked against libstdc++.so.5 which may not be present if your system uses gcc-3.4. To fix this, compile gcc-3.3.5 and copy libstdc++.so.5* to /usr/lib and update the dynamic linker cache.
