Ati video card help

[1994SL2]

Hi, I have an ATI Radeon m300 and had some questions. I have heard that I am having problems running some games because of MESA and I need a different set of drivers. I tried to download the driver rpm from ati's website but it keeps asking for dependencies. I was also told that I need some sort of openGl driver. Can anyone help me out?

Did you happen write down the dependencies and what type. Are missing some libraries or some sort of compiler. Also have you tried just updating the driver using rpm -uvh.

You might also try rpm -ivh --nodeps packagename.rpm

here are the dependecies that it needs:
libexpat.so.1 is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.32.5-1.i386
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.32.5-1.i386
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.32.5-1.i386


jweekley, I tried both of your commands but it unfortunately still says it needs the dependecies I have listed.

Here is an rpm search site, I found a couple of what you are looking for.

Also if you are using Fedora or Red Hat open a terminal and log in as root
the use the yum list available to see they are listed
then use the yum install command to install what is needed
