    Exclamation Installing ati driver???

    OK I've ran everything from redhat 7.0 all the way to gentoo/mandriva/opensuse and havent came across a .run file until now, although its my first linux rig with an ATI card.

    I thought the drivers for the 5770 would be in synaptic already, didn't see it so i went straight to ati, its a 119mb file with .run extension. How would i install that? It's been so long since I've run linux so I'm a little rusty

    Thank you in advance!

    You "run" it...

    Code:
    cd /Folder/With/Driver/Downloaded
    
    ./ati-driver.run
