    ATI drivers problem

    Does anybody know why the output of the fglrxinfo command keeps saying that it works with MESA?
    I'll post the output:
    display: :0.0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
    OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
    OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)

    I have already installed the latest ATI proprietary drivers from Ati's website and the contents of the fglrx-install.log is as follows:
    [Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
    [Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
    [Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.

    What can I do in odrer to get the ATI drivers to work? I am really pissed off, because before a couple of weeks everything was up to perfection and now...
    Hope someone knows what to do! Please help!

    Thanks... the problem is solved!
    Anyone who has the same problem can download the script:
    Code:
    wget [url]http://www.kanotix.com/files/install-radeon-debian.sh[/url]
    and then enter in
    Code:
    init 3
    mode and run the upper mentionned script by typing:
    Code:
    sudo sh ./install-radeon-debian.sh
    .
    Then everything will be in shape just by the hit of the enter...

      Re: ATI drivers problem

      I have installed the ati driver with this guide:
      http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
      changing the version number of the driver with success.

      It seems you have found an alternative solution to that. great
