fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on X server

[mlf]

sorry cp /media/fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1.i386.rpm /root was infact:
cp /media/cd*/fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1.i386.rpm /root

[mlf]

using the command:
mount /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder (note /dev, you said /mnt)
cdrom mounted and rpm file copied to /root directory but when I want to install it I get an error:

error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5 is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1.i386
libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1.i386

Why I get this error? now I have the driver file on the /root directory and it is ready to install.

You need to install these 2 files.

yum -y install ibstdc++.so.5 is needed by fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1.i386 libstdc++.so.5

This command will tell yum to get these files from fedora servers and install them. The "-y" thell yum to assume 'yes' to all questions. For example, one of these two programs may need another program, or a library to solve ITS dependencies.Sooner or later we will get you up and running.

Dependency hell.
yum -y install libstdc++.so.5.i386
will install the library, will make sure that you get the .i386 version, and the -y will ensure that you get any dependencies required by the library 'libstdc++.so.5'

I got another error:

file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx_6_8_0-8.18.8-1 conflicts with file from package xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-31.

ATI driver and MESA driver will not work together. You nedd to remmove the Mesa driver libraries. As root type in
whereis xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-31 [locate the mesa libs]
mv /(location of Mesa libs) /root/xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-31 [just in case you do need them](mv=move)
yum -y clean all
then re-try installing the ATI driver

I tried to remove the conflicting package but got a lot of errors that shows many other packages are depend on this package, So driver is still uninstalled, but I am now suspect to BIOS because sometimes a post message appears and says it can’t probe video card.
I tried to downgrade bios to previous versions but was not successful, I used many windows and dos utilities but yet I can’t replace bios with an older one.
I think it is a bios or chipset issue that prevents Linux and graphic driver from contacting with the video card.

Thank you very much for your replies.
