Switch from "ati" drivers to "fglrx" [solved]

Switch from "ati" drivers to "fglrx" [solved]

Postby Codalunga » Oct 23rd, '12, 10:04

Hi everyone!
I've successfully installed Mageia 2 from LiveCD. If I'm not wrong, right after the installation I had the fglrx drivers enabled by default for my Radeon 6320. But then I updated via MCC without enabling the tainted and non-free repositories, and at the reboot I had a pop-up telling me that the module fglrx was not found in the kernel, so everything was automatically switched to "ati", which are the open drivers I guess. Then I updated after enabling the tainted and non-free repositories and the fglrx module was updated as well, but after a reboot I still have "ati" as default video driver. How can I switch to fglrx again?
Thanks a lot guys! :D

Mmmh if I go on MCC --> Hardware --> Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320], the configuration tool doesn't give me any option to choose which driver to use. Or maybe I'm not looking where that option should be. The one I posted is it the right path to configure the video card, right?

That worked. Since the options I saw were right I didn't imagine that clicking would have opened a complete new wizard.
Thanks a lot! :D
