multifunction printers and GNU/Linux

[multifunction printers and GNU/Linux]

I've got an Epson CX3200, works fine but a little slow with Mandrake 10.1 but works faster under Ubuntu 5.04. Thing is though, everything works with Ubuntu apart from Open Office which doesn't pick the printer up at all. Not a problem with Mandrake!

[installing ATI driver problems for AMD64]

Can anyone tell me how to run the installer program from ATI. I've downloaded the actual driver RPM (although i had to do it from my Windows partition and drag it across because none of my browsers would link to the driver page), and i've downloaded the installer program. According to the instructions i should type;-

 

./ati-driver-installer-8.14.13.mun

 

and this would start a nice install front-end, all i get though is "permission denied" although i'm running as root. I've got the driver and installer in the same folder and i'm stuck as to what to do next.

I'm using Mandrake for the AMD64 and i'm trying to install the x.org driver for my ATI Radeon 9600.

 

Please help as i can't live without Neverwinter nights and i've had it running under Linux but the lack of 3D makes it unplayable.

 

If i do an RPM -i on the driver itself i get;-

 

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx64_6_8_0-8.14.13-1 conflicts with file from package libxorg-x11-6.7.0-3mdk

 

please help
