This will NOT work on Foresight 1. This will also not (usually) work unless you have all the updates.

Installing the drivers

ATI users

Note: Some ATI chipsets which were supported by the FGLRX driver are no longer supported since having been moved to legacy driver support. To see more information on which chipsets were moved to legacy support go HERE. If your chipset is not supported by the current FGLRX driver you might want to stick to using the Radeon driver.

To install:

sudo conary update ati-fglrx ati-fglrx-kernel

 
After this is finished installing, do the following:

sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
 

Report any problems that you encounter to the Foresight Issue Tracking System:  https://issues.foresightlinux.org/browse/FL-1155

Nvidia Users

Open up the terminal (apps, accessories) and run this command:

sudo conary update nvidia nvidia-kernel

Next run this and then reboot:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

To change the display settings run:

sudo nvidia-settings
