ATI RADEON x300 on Ubuntu 9.10 - Kharnage - 11-02-2009
Hey guys I searched around for this for a while, but couldn't find a solution. The driver is supported on the ATI driver site under the Linux section, but when I download it, it comes out as a .run file. I have no idea how to install it. If I double click the .run file I get an error. Any pro Linux users know how to install the driver? Thanks~

Follow the procedure below to install software packaged in a .run file:
Find the .run file in the File Browser
Right-click the file and select Properties
Under the Permissions tab, make sure that Allow executing file as program is ticked and press Close
Double-click the .run file to open it. A dialog box should appear
Press Run in Terminal to run the installer
A Terminal window will open. Follow any instructions on-screen to install the program
Note: Once you have started the installer, it may take a while to display an installation screen. This is normally due to the installer extracting all of the files from the .run file ready for use.

Well instead of just saying 'I'll try this later' maybe tell us what's happening?

Well instead of bumping a thread that's dead, maybe try it yourself if you have an ATI RADEON x300.
