ATI catalyst 9.9 packages for Ubuntu Jaunty

[Dark Star]

Since ATI has released the latest driver for Linux with OpenGL 3.0 and lots of video playback , hybrid crossfire and overdrive enhancements ... I thought of releasing packages for Ubuntu .Download and installed as recommended.. Before installing please remove old drivers to avoid Xorg errors for having multiple fglrx-dkms value..

Download deb for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackapole 32/64bit :-

Ubuntu : http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2145993/Drivers.7z

Extract the zip and place all the files at desktop.. Now open the Terminal and type

sudo su root
cd /home/<user_name>/Desktop

3. To install it 1'st make sure no other installation is going on and after that type this

Ubuntu  32bit : sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb 

Ubuntu 64bit :sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_*.deb fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb

Now in terminal : -

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add this under Device section

    Driver        "fglrx"

Ubuntu users make sure you activate your fglrx from Ubuntu Restricted Driver Manager after installing it , System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers

Navigate to ATI Catalyst Center from Main Menu .. You can use overdrive from terminal .. Type aticonfig for more help.. To check that fglrx is up and running do these

shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8918

shashwat@shashwat-desktop:~$

Have fun with ATI Catalyst..
