Install ATI RADEON HD Driver in Debian 6.0 (Squeeze)

Yesterday, I tried to install ATI RADEON HD driver in my computer. In My computer, I used ATI RADEON 6670 HD. I found some problems when I installed ATI RADEON HD driver in My computer, but I can solved them all.

Let's check it out the step below :

1. Download driver here or you can download the newest driver in ATI RADEON site.

2. Open your terminal and login as root, then turn off your GDM :

# update-rc.d gdm3 remove

3. Reboot your computer :

# init 6

4. Login as root, enter your user and password

5. Change to folder, where do yo save ATI RADEON Driver installer :

For example :

# cd /home/anita-muy/Downloads/

6. Change mode to install driver :

# chmod +x (Your file name)

For example :

# chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run

7. Execute your file :

# ./(Your file name)

# ./ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run

8. Wait the process and accept all demand. When the installation is done, you can turn on your GDM :

# update-rc.d GDM3 defaults

9. Reboot your PC :

# init 6

If you have some problem to install it or when the installation progress is stoped. You can try to Force Install when execute your file, but it's not recomended.

# ./ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run --force

I heve big problem after installation. When i used some programs and do the operation like minimize, maximize, and move the windowed program. it's look crashed. Then I can solved that problems, I tried to install ati package and radeon in Synaptic Package Manager. It's solved, and the display isn't look crashed when I do some operation.

I also tried, when I not installed ATI RADEON Driver (ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run), but only install all Package about ati and radeon in Synaptic Package Manager. The ATI RADEON is not work, it's same as usually.
