1 General HOWTO information
This HOWTO is divided into 2 main parts. In the first, there is
information on how to enable 3D acceleration on nForce motherboards.
Since a lot of users are having problems getting it to work, there are
step-by-step instructions written there.
The second part is about the driver installation in most of the widely
used distributions.
IMPORTANT!!!
For any of this to work, you have to have the kernel sources
installed. RedHat (fedora), Mandrake and SuSE allow the user to
install the sources using their package managers. Gentoo, Slackware
and other similar distributions are built from the source, so they
have it installed already.
It is very important, that you download the correct driver version.
The 3 available choices are Xfree 4.1.0, 4.2.0 and 4.3.0. To find out
which one to choose, run the Check.sh script, that comes with the ATI
drivers.
* sh check.sh (preform this in the directory to which you unpacked
the ATI Driver zip archive.
You can also use the following command:
* cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep -i version | head
2 General Kernel configuration
This section applies to all distributions. It concerns the settings
that must be enabled in the kernel for the driver to work. In this
guide I will only look into the gfx specific settings, and completely
ignore the other settings (IDE, eth...). For those you should look at
your distributions kernel guide:
* [Gentoo:]www.gentoo.org
* [Slackware:]The guide you followed during the installation and
kernel configuration
* [Other:]Usualy there is a readme on kernel configuration found in
the source directory (should be /usr/src/ )
First of all you should make sure your kernel sources are all set up.
After you have them unpacked in /usr/src/your-kernel-sources you must
make sure to link them to /usr/src/linux with the following command:
* ln -s /usr/src/your-kernel-sources /usr/src/linux
If the linux link already exist you can remove it with the command:
* rm /usr/src/linux
Once your sources are set up you should configure them. For this
follow the specific distribution kernel guides, as each distribution
requires their own settings to be enabled. Once you are done with
setting up your kernel sources enter menuconfig again:
* cd /usr/src/linux
* make menuconfig
And enable the following options:
* /dev/agpgart under ``character devices''
* MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) under ``processor type and
features''
Then disable:
* Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support) under ``character
devices''
Once you have done this, exit the menuconfig (don't forget to save).
After that run (as root in your /usr/src/linux folder):
* make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
With this command you will create a bzImage kernel file in your
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/. The i386 part may change accordingly
to your arch. Now you must copy the kernel image to /boot. (in some
distros you will have to mount /boot first)
* mount /boot # only do this if your /boot partition doesn't get
mounted automaticaly
* cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage.new #
change the bzImage.new to whatever you want your image to be named
After this you will have to edit your lilo/grub settings. For both it
should be enough if you use the same data as for the already working
kernel. The lilo conf file is in /etc/lilo.conf. After updating it you
will have to run /sbin/lilo
* /sbin/lilo
For grub you will have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf. After the changes
nothing else is needed.
3 AGPGart Kernel module install and setup
nForce users will have to enable the nVidia AGPGart module in their
kernels, if they want the driver to support 3d acceleration. Newer
kernels (2.4.22 and on) already support the nVidia specific AGPGart.
For older kernels you will have to use a patch before being able to
enable it.
3.1 Getting the nForce drivers
Go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html and select nForce
drivers. Here you will be able to select the method of installation
(and thus the package to download). If your distro is listed you
should download the appropriate RPM. For others, simply download the
tar.gz.
3.2 Installing the nForce drivers
Installing the drivers with the RPM is simple, just do this:
* rpm -i nForce_driver.rpm
For the tar.gz package there is a little more to do:
* cd /where/the/package/is/located
* tar -xvzf nforce.tar.gz (substitute nforce with the package name)
* cd nforce (substitute nforce with the package name)
* make
* su (become root)
* make install
This should set almost everything up.
3.3 GART patch installation
This step has to be done by everybody, in order to enable nforce AGP
Gart support in the kernel.
* cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 (change this to your kernel path)
* patch -p1 < linux-2.4.20-agpgart.diff (again, change to
appropriate kernel)
3.4 Kernel configuration
First of all we must configure the kernel to support our new nForce
AGP Gart.
* cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20
* su (become root)
* make menuconfig
1. In the 'Processor type and features', make sure that an x86
compatible CPU is selected.
2. In the 'Character devices' section, select '/dev/agpgart (AGP
Support)' as a modularized kernel feature.
3. In the same section, enable 'NVIDIA chipset support'.
Now you can exit and save the config. Then you have to compile
everything.
* make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
When the compilation is complete just copy the bzImage to /boot. If
you already have a bzImage in /boot it is wise to back it up
* cd /boot
* mv bzImage bzImage.backup
* cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/boot/
* cp bzImage /boot/bzImage
With this copied you may need to either change your bootloader
configuration, or just refresh your lilo parameters. When you boot
into your new kernel, just install the ATI drivers normally (follow
the guide for your distribution), with one exception. When, during the
driver configuration, you are asked about the AGPGart, select the
EXTERNAL AGPGART.
4 Installing ATI drivers on a RedHat Machine
4.1 Where to get the driver
The newest drivers can always be found at
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html.
4.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
The first thing to do is to get the right driver version. In general
RedHat 9.0 users have to get Xfree version 4.3.0 and RedHat 8.0 users
must get the 4.2.0 Xfree version of the drivers. If you are unsure, or
want to test it, you should use this file
(http://www2.ati.com/drivers/Check.sh) to find out the right version
for you (type sh Check.sh in the dir to which you downloaded the
file). In some distributions it is possible to have a Xfree version,
that doesn't match none of the driver versions (4.3.5 for example). In
this case you should use the x.x.0 version of the driver (in the
example this is version 4.3.0).
Once you know which Xfree version you need to download head here
(http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html) select Linux as your
operating system, select gfx driver (or FireGL if you own a FireGL
card) and then select you gfx card. A page will open on which you can
download the correct driver version for your PC. It is also important
to have the kernel source installed on your PC. You can install it by
using the Packet management tool found under System Settings.
4.3 Installing the drivers
It is important to understand that ATI drivers should be installed
from the console/terminal. Thus, in this guide, everything will be
done in the terminal.
Go into text mode (so no gfx modules interfere with the installation.
* su (become root)
* init 3
Here you will have to login again. Login as root. Go to the directory
to which you downloaded the drivers.
* cd /DIRECTORY_NAME/SUBDIRECTORY_NAME
1st try to install the drivers.
* rpm -ihv fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm (change name accordingly
to your file name)
If you are in luck everything should go smoothly and the driver should
install and configure itself. Probably you will not be so lucky. The
Xfree driver will be conflicting with your driver installation.
2nd try to install the drivers.
* rpm -i -force fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm
OR
* rpm -e -nodeps Conflicting_File_and_Version
* rpm -ihv fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm
In the first case you will be forcing the driver installation, thus
ignoring any files that are conflicting with it. In the second case
you will first be removing the file that is conflicting and then
normally installing the driver. This can cause some dependencies
checks to fail, thus breaking your X installation. For that reason it
is wiser to use the first command.
5 Installing ATI drivers on a Gentoo machine
5.1 Where to get the driver
You should use portage (emerge).
5.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
The kernel has to be configured for the driver. Look at the Kernel
configuration file for info.
5.3 Installing the driver
In gentoo installing the driver is pretty simple. All you have to do
is to run emerge:
* emerge ati-drivers
Emerge will then do all the work (taking care of all the
dependencies). Once the emerging is done, all you have to do is to run
fglrxconfig.
6 Installing ATI drivers on a Slackware Machine
6.1 Where to get the driver
The newest drivers can always be found at
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html.
6.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
You will have to make some changes to the kernel. Check the kernel
configuration part for info on that.
6.3 Installing the driver
First of all, you have to convert the RPM from www.ati.com to a format
Slackware understands. This can be done with the utility rpm2targz (in
debian you can get it with the help of apt-get).
* rpm2targz DRIVER_FILE_NAME.rpm
Now you have to extract the archive:
* tar xvzf DRIVER_FILE_NAME.tar.gz
This will create a folder with all the files neatly inside it. Change
directory to it:
* cd DRIVER_FILE_NAME
(From here on you have to be root to continue)
* su
Once inside the driver directory copy all of it's contents to / (yes
root):
* cp -r * /
Once this is finished you will have to build the kernel module. Info
on how to do this can be found in the Common steps part later in this
HowTo. After that it is just a matter of running fglrxconfig to set up
X Windows. Info on how to do it can also be found in the Common steps
part.
7 Installing the ATI drivers on a Mandrake machine
7.1 Where to get the driver
You can either download them from www.ati.com (and in that case follow
the RedHat guide), or use RPMDrake/urpmi to get them.
7.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
The only step to take before the installation is to make sure you have
the kernel sources installed. You can get them by using RPMDrake.
7.3 Installing the drivers
Use RPMDrake to download the drivers. They will get configured
automatically. You only have to run fglrxconfig to configure X
Windows.
8 Installing the ATI drivers on a SuSE machine
8.1 Where to get the driver
You can either download them from www.ati.com, but it is advisable to
get them from SuSE (www.suse.com)
8.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
Just make sure you have your kernel sources installed. You can use
Yast2 to get and install them. Also, make sure they are linked to
/usr/src/linux. If they are not, just link them:
* ln -s /usr/src/linux-kernel-2.X.X /usr/src/linux
If a symbolic link already exists, but you are sure it's not your
kernels, just erase it before making the new one.
* rm /usr/src/linux
8.3 Installing the drivers
It is important to understand that ATI drivers should be installed
from the console/terminal. Thus, in this guide, everything will be
done in the terminal.
Go into text mode (so no gfx modules interfere with the installation.
* su (become root)
* init 3
Here you will have to login again. Login as root. Go to the directory
to which you downloaded the drivers.
* cd /DIRECTORY_NAME/SUBDIRECTORY_NAME
1st try to install the drivers.
* rpm -ihv fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm (change name accordingly
to your file name)
If you are in luck everything should go smoothly and the driver should
install and configure itself. Probably you will not be so lucky. The
Xfree driver will be conflicting with your driver installation.
2nd try to install the drivers.
* rpm -i -force fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm
OR
* rpm -e -nodeps Conflicting_File_and_Version
* rpm -ihv fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm
In the first case you will be forcing the driver installation, thus
ignoring any files that are conflicting with it. In the second case
you will first be removing the file that is conflicting and then
normally installing the driver. This can cause some dependencies
checks to fail, thus breaking your X installation. For that reason it
is wiser to use the first command.
9 Installing the drivers on a Debian machine
9.1 Where to get the driver
You should get the driver from www.ati.com. You will then convert them
to .deb (debian package). Unleass you are using the unstable branch of
debian, you are using XFree 4.2.0. Download the according driver.
9.2 Steps to take before installing the drivers
First of all you should get your kernel sources ready. Unless you have
them installed already do so now (use apt-get for that). Debian
doesn't automaticaly unpact kernel sources, so you have to do it
yourself:
* cd /usr/src
* tar xjvf kernel-source-2.X.X.tar.bz2 #substitute with your kernel
sources
* ln -s kernel-source-2.X.X linux #this way you will link your new
sources with the expected sources directory. If /usr/src/linux
exists you can delete the link: rm /usr/src/linux
Now we will make sure our sources are configured to the working
kernel:
* cp /boot/config-2.X.X-Y-YYY .config #change this according to your
kernel version and config name
* make oldconfig
* make dep
* ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.X.X-Y-YYY/build #this will
link the modules to the right directory. Again make sure you
change the path to your kernel version
Next, we will convert the ATI rpm to deb. To do this you will need
alien. Use apt-get to get it. Once you have it run the following
command:
* alien /directory/subdirectory/ati-driver.rpm #this will create a
.deb file in the directory you are currently in
9.3 Installing the drivers
Now we will use the .deb file we created earlier:
* dpkg -i ati-driver.deb #you may have to use some of the -force
options to get it to install (conflicts with libglx). Use ``dpkg
-help'' for more info.
Once the drivers are installed, you will have to build the module.
Look at the ``Building the module'' in the Common steps part of the
HowTo.
10 Common steps for all distributions
10.1 Kernel 2.6 driver configuration
Currently the ATI fglrx driver have some problems compiling against
the 2.6 kernel. To get it to work you will need to make some changes
to the driver itself.
First you will have to get the driver and install it.
* rpm -ihv -force fglrx-driver.rpm
Gentoo users have it easy here, as the emerge command automaticaly
patches the driver, which then works correctly without any other
changes.
However, if you are NOT using gentoo, than you will have to make two
changes:
1.) First you will have to apply the VMALLOC patch. The link to the
patch can be found on top of the (online) page. Once you have the
patch copy it into /lib/modules/fglrx:
* cp vmalloc.patch /lib/modules/fglrx
Then move to the build_mod directory and execute the patch:
* cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
* patch -p1 < ../vmalloc.patch
Once this is done, you will have to make some changes to
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c
Open the file and go to line 3123. There change this:
* #if ( (PAGE_ATTR_FIX == 1) || (LINUX_VERSION_CODE ==
KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,19)) )
into this:
* #if ( (PAGE_ATTR_FIX == 1) || (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >=
KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,19)) )
Save the changes and exit. Now you can build the module (look at the
following section).
10.2 Building the module
You have to do the following every time you change your kernel or
somehow edit the driver module (like installing a newer version over
the old one).
* cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod #(change directory to where our
task lies)
* sh make.sh #(gathering kernel information)
* cd /lib/modules/fglrx/ #(change directory to where out second task
lies)
* sh make_install.sh #(configuring the the driver to our kernel)
If you already have a working Xfree86 from previous driver
installations/configurations you can keep it, though it is advisable
to rerun fglrxconfig.
10.3 Configuration of X Window
It is advisable you enter text mode before running fglrxconfig, as
some modules in the GFX mode may interfere with the configuration. In
most distributions it is just a matter of running as root:
* init 3
In Gentoo and Debian however, you have to either run:
* /etc/init.d/xdm stop # change xdm to your login manager (xdm,
kdm...)
or simply quit the window manager if you have a text login. Once you
are in text mode simply run fglrxconfig.
* fglrxconfig
With the ``fglrxconfig'' command you will start the configuration
program in which all you have to do is answer the questions that you
are asked. Some info that might help:
- If you own a USB Wheel mouse select ``PS/2 or USB with PS/2
protocol'' and then ``PS/2 Wheel Mouse''
- When specifying the mouse mount point (default /dev/mouse) you may
run into some issues with either X not starting or the mouse not
responding. In that case you may want to try and specify the mount
point as /dev/input/mice
- If your keyboard layout is not listed in the list simply select US.
You will be able to change this later.
- Default settings (selected by simply pressing enter) are usually the
best, but might not be correct in your case. Always be sure you select
the right answer.
- It is best to select no ``restrictions - any user has access to the
OpenGL ICD'' so any user can use OpenGL acceleration.
- For beginners it is best to select ``Default'' under Application
Profiles.
- Select ``compatible operation (for WineX, VM emulators and some
profilers)'' to be sure that no compatibility problems will appear in
WineX.
Once this is done simply restart Linux, so that all the modules get
loaded correctly.
10.4 Fine tuning the installation
You can also change any settings afterward.
Logged in as root go to /etc/X11 and open the file XF86Config-4.
Inside it find these lines (pc105 and US can look different in your
case):
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "US"
Here you can edit the last line to make sure that your keyboard layout
is used.
You can also change the mouse mount point to be used. Just scroll to
the mouse part of the file and change the directory.
