Hi, I installed ATI in Debian dozens of times. Just tried the same process on SL 5.5 here few minutes before. 1) linux-cat107-install.pdf from ATI download website says what files you have to have installed prior to ATI instalation/kernel compilation https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat107-inst.pdf 2) Radeon HD 5xxxx is included in the 10.7 list of ATI drivers 3) Installation went smoothly without a problem 4) ATI driver is named fglrx* 5) search for its mutations ;-) there: lib/modules/fglrx lib-/modules/"kernel-sig"/kernel/drivers/char/drm kernel-sig = your kernel's signature 6) Alas there is not such thing like Debian's modconf to conveniently check/manage installed kernel modules; there is no such file like Debian's /etc/modules with a list of additionally installed kernel modules. (Perhaps someone hints us how to peep into SL kernel modules?) 7) ATI installs aticccle manager + fgl_glxgears (with 3D rotating cube) 8) You __have to change__ "manually" monitor's VertRefresh and HorizSync data in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, e.g.: Section "Monitor" Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection and add "Modes" line in Screen section: Section "Screen" Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0" Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection 9) WARNING :-( ATI worked good but I had impression that Xorg's latest radeon driver (found in SL 5.5) worked better, especially during MC window resizing - radeon was making less flickering than ATI proprietary driver. The warning relates to system fonts- ATI changed my system fonts to "something ugly" and in 6 pt size! I use IceWM, but every apps got the same fonts and nothing could be done via IceWM settings, of course. Thank God, I had a magnifying glass at hand... So said I changed X11 settings to previous ones, namely to SL radeon driver. BTW. How to change system font in SL? I tried to find out thru google search but to no avail. And there is no such script like system-config-fonts, why? I hope I were able to help. Regards -- Przemysław Pawełczyk (P2O2) [pron. Pshemislav Paveltchick] http://pp.blast.pl, pp_o2@xxxxx
