How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

Hello
I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
#pacman -Sy
#pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
#pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode). Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
#lsmod | grep -i fglrx
If the resultant output have "fglrx" part the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
#cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
Then issue
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
#telinit 3
I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
issue
#gdm
If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
#fgl_glxgears
If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
#fglrxinfo
Now the installed driver version is in the output
If there is any problem try following
##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
####### as in the following example
title Archlinux Ice Kernel
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash nopat

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?

How to get the Windows Vista Driver for ATI Radeon 7500 card?
I am using a IBM Thinkpad T42 with a 32Mb ATI Radeon 7500 graphic card AGP.
Is there any Vista 32-bit driver to update my card so that this system support Aero effect?
Thank you.

The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card. I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

Unfortunately no. The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

Even if they make it available, does this change mean other Radeon 5870 based cards will work in the system? If so, does this mean Radeon 5870 based eyefinity 6 cards will work with the new mac pros, and hopefully the old ones with a driver/software update? That would make it an even more significant refresh from a graphics point of view...
In any case, if other 5870 based cards would work, that would be the easiest solution for getting hold of the required card as there are loads of cards already available for purchase based on the 5870 GPU...

Need newest driver for ATI Radeon 3650 - Satellite Pro A300-1NT

Hello everyone,
I am looking for the newest drivers for ATI Radeon HD 3650 onboard Satelite Pro A300-1NT.
During playing Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) game by Beenox Inc ..... I get pixelized squares on tthe screen (instead of dust) and eventually blue screen.
I am using Windows XP Pro
I looked for drivers on *Toshiba website* and the only I found are:
12/01/09 Display Driver ATI Windows XP 8.477
*Game support* suggests upgrading driver for a newer one.
*Ati manufacturer support* have driver for ATI Radeon 8650 but not compatibile with Mobile Solution - and when asked for Mobile Ati support I got the ansfer:
+AMD Customer Care for ATI products does not provide direct technical support for laptops/notebooks at this current time (telephone or email). If you require direct technical support please contact the system manufacturer of your laptop/notebook.+
+ [http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-28041SupportforATIMobility.aspx|http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-28041SupportforATIMobility.aspx] +
I ask then are there newest drivers for Windows XP

Hi
I think you have already answered this question by yourself...
As you wrote you can get all drivers on the Toshiba website and if there isnt a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isnt a high performance gaming notebook so I think display drivers are not so important.
The only way to get a newer version is that you search on external websites. Maybe you can get the desktop driver working due some modifications I dont know but be really careful!!! Other drivers dont have an overheat protection and you could destroy the graphic chip. Be really careful what you do.
Alternative you can search on the Toshiba website for other notebook models with ATI card too. Maybe there you can get a newer version

Reviews for ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro?

There's no review at the Apple Store on this [ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008)|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=NDE4NDMx OA]. Googled and found nothing related to the Mac kit. Mostly PC based.
Should I consider this card? I need a spare/replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro (early 2008). The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card has failed me twice.

Just came out on barefeats:
http://www.barefeats.com/nehal14.html
Shows new drivers with 285, also compares 4870.
If you play a lot of games on the windows side, you might also want to consider the 4890. I has recently became flashable (if you're into that kinda thing). It has a lot more leeway to be overclocked. Close to (or if your lucky) hitting the 1 Ghz core clock speed, gives very close comp to the 285, and at fraction of the price. You can get an XFX 4890 on newegg for $195.

In search of drivers for ATI Radeon 7000

I recently purchased a used ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video card for my G3 beige, OS 9.2.2. This is an older model card with just the single VGA output. This comes up as card name "ATI, Bluestar", and card model "ATI, RV100" under Apple System Profiler so I'm a bit confused about that to start with. However, since ASP recognizes it I guess it seems to work though I haven't plugged my monitor into it yet.
The problem is the drivers.
I went to ATI's website to look for drivers to download to get this card working. They have an OS9 updater (ati-retail-9-2-2-jan2005.hqx) that should install a bunch of components. When I run it it only installs a partial set, contrary to what it says it should do. I've seen other postings on Apple Discussions about problems with this installer. ATI seems to make it impossible to contact them other than by telephone which is only open to original purchasers so I can't even tell them there's a problem (much less expect them to do anything about it). A search for Bluestar or RV100 reveals nothing on ATI's website.
Has anybody gotten this installer to work? Is there some other source for drivers for this card? Can somebody e-mail them to me (I don't think this violates any rules since in theory they are openly down-loadable)?
Thanks,
Brian
G3 beiges:DT, 9.2.2, 120GBide; DT, 9.2.2/OS X.3, 120GBide; MT, 8.6/9.2.2, 128MB,

Thanks to all for answering my questions. I decided in the end to just plug my monitor into the card and give it a try despite not haveing the groundwork properly set up. It works so it must be a Mac version of the card. This website (http://www.welovemacs.com/radeon7000vga.html) describes the card, including the model number (but I paid a LOT, LOT less than their price!).
Yes, the installer does put all kinds of things in the System, but not the promised control panel. It looks like the CP isn't essential to the working of the card so I'm not worrying anymore. I used the Apple monitors control panel to set the resolution a few times but it froze up on me once when setting it to 640x480. After that I pulled a copy of Super Res that I had in storage and have been using that.
As to the graphics acceleration, it's kind of hard to tell. I tried viewing a mp4 video clip I have with Quicktime 6. Before the card I could maybe watch a minute before my computer would freeze up. Now I can watch maybe 3 minutes before it freezes up, but the video is very jerky, even when compared to the one minute before card installation. I may now be experiencing the limitations of my 266 MHz G3 in terms of decoding mp4, but this doesn't explain why video seemed smoother before, brief though it was before a freeze.
I then tried a video game. Actually video wasn't too slow with this even with my old configuration. Now things seem to hesitate when the play gets busy and it remids me of when I used to play Crystal Quest on a Mac SE. In this case the card has made things slower.
With general scrolling I don't really notice a difference. There's still hesitation at times. In all the cases I have mentioned the ATI thing in the menu bar says grahics acceleration is on.
So in actuality I haven't really noticed any improvement with this card. If anybody has any tips on ways to tune the system to take more advantage of the card I'd welcome them.
Thanks,
Brian

Replacement power cable for ATI Radeon 5770?

I'm shopping around for a replacement graphics card for my Mac Pro and I've found several Radeon 5770s that don't have the PCIe power cable included.
Does anyone know what sort of cable they use and if replacements can be purchased?

yes it can be purchased but first, you are shopping for an Apple version, right?
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC742ZM/A
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-ATI-Radeon-5770-MC742ZM/dp/B003Z6QH6M/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
OWC shows the cable, they also sell separately (maybe why they charge more?)
Amazon had customer photos but not showing one.
I was under the impression that Apple would/was including the cable.

Better replacement for ATI Radeon HD 5770

Hello. I have in my Mid 2010 Mac Pro the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB. What graphics card is out there that has better graphics and also supports 3 to 4 monitors easily? My budget is in the 300 to 400 range. I've seen the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac, which is amazing, but out of my budget. I need to get three monitors running soon.

The other desktop monitor will plug directly into the DVI port on the card and the 40 inch tv will still connect via HDMI over the second Mini Display port.
That will work only if you use an active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

but you should confirm that they are really active before buying 500 of them.
You can connect a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable to an active Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter but that won't give you any audio over HDMI. You could connect the DVI displays to the Mini DisplayPorts with active adapters and use a DVI to HDMI cable or adapter from the DVI port to the TV.

Dual monitor connection for ATI Radeon 4350

I have HP Pavilion Elite e9300z PC with 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adaptor]... I want to connect a 2nd monitor to video card. I think my current monitor is HDMI, so for the other (DVI) is it dual-link? In other words, should I get a dual-link DVI cable or a regular DVI-D cable? Thanks.

Regular DVI-D cable shoould work, your monitor must have a DVI-D and not a DVI-I port...

Need Power Connector Cable for ATI Radeon X1900 XT

I need the 6pin power connector/cable for my ATI Radeon X1900 XT to work with my Mac Pro.
I can't use the card as I lost the small cable pior to installation and now I can't find one anywhere.
It is the 6 pin cable that connects into the Radeon X1900 XT and the other end into the Mac Pro motherboard.
Can someone help me?
Thank you

Worst service ever at the local(Canada) Montreal/Laval Apple Store........''go ask ATI or call Apple, etc....''

Typical of Apple, you buy their stuff then they turn your back on you in case that you need some help.

OpenGL 2 drivers for ATI Radeon X600 Pro ?

Help!
I play Second Life, and their latest upgrade 1.14.0 which is about to become compulsory is expecting drivers for OpenGL 2, and this version definitely has big problems with the ATI Radeon X600 Pro video card in my iMac G5 iSight, and will make the game virtually unplayable, and mess up my inworld businesses there.
Since this card is not listed on the ATI site, I guess we have to wait for Apple to update drivers. Are they going to soon, or do we have to wait for Leopard?
I thought Leopard was first quarter, that leaves one day left lol.

This is a fresh OS install on an external HD from my original 10.4.2 disks, and then Software Updated to 10.4.9. There are no outstanding software updates.
From System Profiler:
OpenGL:
Version: 1.4.7
Last Modified: 01/10/2005 05:13
Get Info String: OpenGL 1.4.7.14.0
And yet I have seen Core Duo Macs list OpenGL 2. Is there a problem with the Updater, or can a 14 month old iMac G5 with ATI Radeon X600 Pro not be updated to OpenGL 2?

10.5 Drivers for Ati Radeon 7000 in a g5 xserve

Please help me as i am tearing out whatever hair i have left. I have an apple xserve g5 machine. I am trying to run os x server 10.5.4 leopard on this. The problem i am having is i have put an ATI radeon 7000 pci card into one of the slots but when i plug a monitor into the card on the normal vga port, nothing shows up on the screen. I have talked with the technical department at ATI in the uk and they say i have to go back to apple for a driver for this card to work in this situation because they dont have one but i cant find anywhere where this driver for 10.5.4 would be on the apple website.
Please would someone help me in getting this card or any other card working in this situation as this is very urgent.
Kind regards,
Neil Watson

I don't know... do you have the Mac version of the card, or did you just slap a generic 7000 card in there? If it's not the Mac version of the card, it may not work -- it may expect BIOS and the G5 Xserve has Open Firmware.

Change the kernel26 config file for ati users?

Hi,
To get the propriatary ati drivers working you need to change some parts of the kernel from build in to module. What about changing this in the standard kernel26 so that this will make it easyer to install ati drivers (and update the kernel) for a lot of users. I think it isn't hard to change because the config file is kernel26 package.
I don't know much about kernels and stuff so I don't know if it will be negative for some users? Else of course it shouldn't be changed because only a small percentage of arch users use propiatary ati drivers.
Please give me your opinion about this
David
edit: typo

I don't think that Xentac wrote that, in this thread qwerty wrote it, or is this the same person?
In that thread is also the reason why they need to be modules, the propriatary ati drivers interact with the AGP modules from the kernel. For some reason this doesn't work when they are compiled in the kernel. Shall I send qwerty a message if he can explain better why modules are needed?
Also I'm trying(never made a PKGBUILD...) to merge the two PKGBUILDS from that howto in one so that in the future to install ati drivers one can just type pacman -S ati-drivers, add the module to rc.conf and change xorg.conf to get it working, that should be really cool I think
edit: I just found out this isn't needed since I found ati packages in link's reposatority! The only strange thing is that they depend on an older kernel

How do I update my graphics card driver for ATI HD2600?

I have this new driver that I can update namely a new bios version and a display one which is version 8.432 for my hd2600 (8.383 now).
But how exactly do I do this? Should I first uninstall my older ati driver or can i just install them over it?

Just overinstall the driver, it does not matter what version you have installed just execute the setup program and install the driver. Regarding the BIOS just do the same, but dont have any other applications running during the BIOS update.
