[Fedora8] - Installare driver ATI x Radeon 1950 pro

[erredeco]

Ciao a tutti.

Mi rivolgo qui per la seguente domanda: come installo i driver ATI su una Fedora 8 che gira sul mio PC domestico con processore Athlon 64 e Radeon X1950pro ?

Tenete conto che mi connetto con un modem a 56k da casa, quindi NON ho intenzione di configurare alcun repository "alternativo".

Al momento sono riuscito ad ottenere dal sito della ATI il file ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run

Ma non so come usarlo con cognizione di causa.
Orbene... siccome per quanto riguarda l'installazione di software sotto linux sono una bestia pressoché totale, c'è qualche anima pia che mi da una mano, spiegandomi possibilmente tutto come si fa con un bambino?

Un caloroso ringraziamento

non conosco fedora molto bene
normalmente i driver grafici si installano da shell avendo precedentemente installato il source del kernel
da shell
init 3
sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run


non so se devi dare altri comandi ma a questo punto dovresti poter configurare x11

Grazie x l'interessamento e le mie scuse per non aver risposto prima, in questi giorni nn ho avuto tempo.

Allora... ecco cosa ho fatto e cosa è successo:
1- copiato il file ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run nella cartella di root
2- su root
3- sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run

E' partita la procedura di installazione come da manualetto scaricato dal sito Ati, ho scelto "install driver" e "automatic"; la procedura è finita e mi ha inserito nel menu di Gnome la voce Ati Catalyst Driver. Peccato che se provo a lanciarla non succede nulla.
Il log dell' installazione (in /usr/share/ati) se ben ricordo, recita:

[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
