No, you need to do
Code: 
cd /home/will/Desktop
That will change to the Desktop directory, now you only do ./filename to run a program, not to change a directory or do a chmod command.

Then do
Code: 
./filename

The commands don't usually output anything if they were successful, only for warnings/errors.
 
Ok, it started installing, then said i need to run installer as a super user :s, whats that mean?
 
Ok, i found out its SU, anyway, got the drivers installed, how do i change the Display Resolution now?, i cant change it from 1024 x 768 :s
 
Right click the desktop, configure your desktop and then there should be an option somewhere to change screen resolutions.
 
Yea i know, but it wont let me change it to anything, the only options are 1024x768 :(
 
When it comes to ATI drivers and you want them to work perfectly, you can't just run the installer (or at least that's what I read). In fact, when you run the installer you're given an option to rebuild the package for your specific distro. Or, You can use a pre-built package for your specified distro, and yes they are available in the plf non-free repository. I know because I've downloaded them.

As long as they will let me play a game its good enough, i need to adjust the resolution now.
