Confirm that it worked $ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3.5461 (X4.3.0-8.19.10) If it didn't work, you may need to run: # mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri # ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri Thanks to Maciej Matysiak for the clear debug here and solution here. If it's still not working, try: # rm /usr/lib/libGL.so* # rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* # cd /usr/X11R6/lib # cp /usr/lib/fglrx/diversions/lib/libGL.so.1.2 . # ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1 # ldconfig and confirm that 'ldd /usr/bin/fglrxinfo' is pointing to the right one.
