And this is what I got from the 8.28 old drivers, after executing the
ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run skript:
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================
Detected configuration:
Architecture: i686 (32-bit)
X Server: Xorg 7.2.0
Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x720' directory
You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]
The following values may be used for <xdir>:
x430 XFree86 4.3.x
x430_64a XFree86 4.3.x 64-bit
x680 X.Org 6.8.x
x680_64a X.Org 6.8.x 64-bit
x690 X.Org 6.9.x
x690_64a X.Org 6.9.x 64-bit
x700 X.Org 7.0.x
x700_64a X.Org 7.0.x 64-bit
x710 Unknown X Window
x710_64a Unknown X Window
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
I assume, you will realize what that means.
So either please stop telling us things that you did not try on your own
or, much better, be so kind and let us know how you made it working with
Xorg 7.2 and Radeon Models smaller than 9500.
Kind regards and thanks much for your help
Eberhard
