Has anyone else had issues getting the catalyst drivers to work with the A10-7850 Kaveri? I purchased it for a new build with 2133MHz ram and the Asus A88x motherboard, and after installing Xubuntu 13.10, upgrading to kernel 3.12, building and installing the Catalyst packages from AMD's site, generating the standard configuration with "aticonfig --initial", and using the "nomodeset" kernel parameter, I have been totally unable to get a working system.
On a normal boot, the computer freezes while loading the initial ramdisk, and the Xorg logs look fine--until they abruptly stop (right after "Loading GLX extension"). I am unable to switch to any other VTs, and the only way out is a hard reset. If I leave it at that loading screen long enough (about 5 minutes) it just goes black, but no other changes occur.
I can boot from grub to a recovery console, and when I run "fglrxinfo" I get an error like "Cannot open device, (null)". I've been told its output is useless if X isn't running anyways.
I have a working system with the oibaf drivers (though I don't get the performance reported on Phoronix). My monitor is connected via DVI, but VGA also produces the same results (I've tried).
Any thoughts? Is it just me? All of these issues occur on CLEAN installs.
Thanks for any help!
