Hi,
I downloaded an ATI driver for my graphicscard but when I run the command as root, I get an errormessage saying that my XServer is not installed (though I have installed it)

root@yorik-desktop:/home/yorik/Desktop# cd sh ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
-bash: cd: sh: Bestand of map bestaat niet
root@yorik-desktop:/home/yorik/Desktop# sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I have also tried an .rpm file to run as root but I get an error message:

Can someone help me out? Perhaps I need to reinstall Xserver?
Thanks!
