I noticed that the 3d capability with the default video driver is very slow.
I have fedora core 2 installed and it immidiatly found my video card (ATI 9700 AIW PRO) and installed a driver. This driver allows me to have 32bit colour and a resolution of 1280 by 1024 but I have noticed some screen savers that use 3d type things go really slow.
I downloaded the driver for my card from the ATI website and tried to install it via rpm -ivh
rpm -ivh /mnt/Data/linux_drivers/videofglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0 conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.7.0-5
I'm assuming thats the old video card driver, I was wondering how I would go about uninstalling this video card driver and then installing the new one.
can anyone help me?
