Backtrack-ati installation

[Abigail101]

Hi, i am basically a Windows User but also having a system with Backtrack installed. Am also having AtI card HD4530 on this system. Every thing is working fine, but from last couple of days when i am trying to install backtrack-ati packages to execute pyrit with ATI-Stream GPU, the system gives me an error message. Could anyone of you please help me out of this ?? Help appreciated.

You have not mentioned the proper error message that appears when you are trying the task. Anyways, i think the issue is with your ATI driver. I'll suggest you to go here and download the driver corresponding to your card. Once done, right click on ati-driver executable and select Save. Enter the name of the file in a shell to start the installation. Once that is done you have to edit xorg or directly back into a shell. Use this command aticonfig - initial-f.

Make a reboot or restart x server directly (ctrl + alt + tab). Right click on your desktop:

• configure desktop
• display
• take in the new value in screen size
• Apply
• ok

Thanks for sharing this valuable topic friends.. I am also having some similar problem with my Backtrack-ati. I was also not able to install the backtrack-ati package and my friend suggested me to find some new and proper driver. I did so, downloaded but not able to install. Please help me to install the ati drivers. thank you .

Copy the module to your ati.lzm root directory ("cd /") then "tar-zxvf ati.lzm" - then run the. That Is Placed sh file in the 'newly created / install directory by typing "sh install / doinst. sh. After That You Should Be Able to load up X by using the ati command Which Will configure / N / etc/X11/xorg.conf to Work Properly Then you can use your preferred method after to run X.

Now, just copy it to / bt / modules / on the cd

Hi Flux, am having some trouble while installing the drivers. when am trying to launch the script.Sh, the system gives me an error messages stating :

bash:. / doinst.sh: Permission denied

have no idea about this. Could anyone fix it ?

You must give execute permissions to the file .sh

  chmod a + x doinst.sh

Or, if you do not want to give rights

  sh doinst.sh
