ATI x1950 PRO graphic card Install

Postby cesar_king » Sat Apr 18, 2009 2:33 am

I got this ATI x1950 PRO series graphic card from a friend and he misplaced the Install CD so I was wondering where I can download the driver.... I tried in the ati site but I can only download a "ATI Catalyst".. which doesn't seem to help. If anyone knows how I can install this graphic card without the install CD please tell me :)

Try the ATI driver in the repos?

Driver:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... x86_64.run

Docs:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/ ... 2-inst.pdf

Note: The install guide is dated:

Command:
sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run

The following packages must be installed in order for the CatalystTM Linux
driver to install and work properly:
• XFree86-Mesa-libGL
• libstdc++
• libgcc
• XFree86-libs
• fontconfig
• freetype
• zlib
• gcc

Pardon, but why are you asking help for windows in a linux forum? Am confuzzled.
