Enabling ATI Radeon Mobility M300 on Linux
March 26th, 2006
Playing Q3 on a Dell Latitude - D610 is tough without your ATI card supporting your moves 
This is how to enable support for your ATI Radeon Mobility M300…
[btw, just to mention, I’m using Dell Latitude - D610 notebook]
1) Go to ATI’s website & download the driver install system
To be more generic, www.ati.com > Drivers & Software > Linux Display Drivers and Software > Linux x86 > Notebooks with ATI Graphics > ATI Proprietary Linux x86 Display Drivers for XFREE86 / X. Org Version 8.23.7 > ATI Driver Installer [download]
2) Download the file mentioned in step (1) & give it executable permissions with “chmod +x file-name.run”
3) Run the installer & choose default installation when asked for default/custom install.
4) Once the installation finishes, run “aticonfig –initial”
5) Reboot! You’ll experience a change in resolution once you reboot & relogin to your desktop.
6) Run & play Q3/Doom3 happily
