ATI's drivers -- How do I check... (check.sh)

onthos · 08-19-2004, 12:32 PM

ATI demands that I know what version of XFree86 I am running, but I have no idea. So they provided me with check.sh... big deal! I don't know how to use it! Could anyone help me sort this out?

Running Fedora Core 2.

look in
/var/log
there should be an XFree86.0.log
the version number is listed at the top of page........

in order to run check.sh just do this in a term window..........

Code:

sh check.sh
OR
./check.sh

Hmm.. both of these solutions failed.
There was no XFree86 log. But there is a Xorg.0.log.

And running $sh check.sh returns this:

Your possibly not running this script from the console
or maybe you simply dont have the console ownership.
Unable to determine XFree86 Version. Stopping now.

Fedora Core 2 most likely uses the Xorg Xserver,
Xorg -version should confirm that for you.

Anyhow, get the driver version for XFree-4.3.0,
I'd suggest looking up rage3d.com's linux board, I know they have a couple Fedora threads going, there's specific issues with Fedora.

...good luck
