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.

 

Ok, it's still not letting me change from 1024 x 768 res and 75Hz res
