Fedora 8下如何编译ATI 显卡的驱动程序

1－登录http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html下载ati驱动程序包，比如我笔记本是 ATI Radeon x1300,下载完后得到最新的驱动：ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run，如果我们要在fedora 8上安装这个驱动，需要我们将它编译成rpm包。



2－需要的命令是sh ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F8，但有两个前提：一是要su切换root进行；二是安装最新的fc8最新内核，不用yum,我曾用yum升级的内核，但这个内核还不是最新，版本居然不是最新——kernel-devel  i686  2.6.23.1-42.fc8  fedora   4.8 M

编译rpm包时出现以下错误提示：
[root@localhost driver]# sh ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F8
Created directory fglrx-install.d17459
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Generating package: Fedora/F8
Please install an appropriate Linux kernel module build package.
The package(s) you need are likely kernel-devel and/or kernel-headers.
If you've compiled a custom kernel, make sure /usr/src/linux exists
and the source tree matches the currently running kernel.

启用系统工具里的软件包更新工具，升到最新内核后，编译成功。最新内核的版本号为：



[fkna@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 18:51:08 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
以下是我编译成功的过程：

我们用ls命令查看可以发现四个编译好的rpm包。
[root@localhost driver]# ls
ati-driver-installer-7-11-x86.x86_64.run
ATI-fglrx-8.433-1.f8.i386.rpm

剩下的事情您自己安装吧。
