Hello all !
I'm trying to figure out how to install ATI's catalyst drivers into my install of slamd64 (that's a 64-bit version of slackware) 12.2 . Unforunatly I don't seem to be getting very far, so far I've had no success at doing this.
Here's the system I am currently using (specs);
* Memory - 4 GB Ram
* Motherboard - ASUS M3A78EM
* CPU - AMD Phenom II x4 940
* Graphics - Onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200
Linux kernel version = 2.6.27.7
Unfortunatly I can't get the driver to even install properly let alone run. If I try to install the latest 9.2 catalyst driver from here ( http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx ) and install it from the command line (outside of X) I get this strangeness at the end of installation;
And right at the bottom of the screen;
BTW that's not a formatting error above in what I'm guessing are error messages, the text actually looks like that on-screen, all messed up and out of line. I get the same results from the 9.2, 9.1 and 8-12 driver.
If I try to start X after this, it dosen't work -- I either get a completely blank screen, no X cursor or maybe some red lines or dots on the screen. The system then locks up hard; no response from mouse or keyboard - the only way out is to power off or hit the reset button.
Even after trying 'aticonfig --initial' I get the same problem, in fact the system went to a blank screen then reset itself!
xorgsetup also dosen't seem to work properly after installing the ATI drivers, it just crashes with these messages;
I've tried reinstalling slamd64 (so I'm working off a clean install) and redownloading the drivers (just in case I got a bad download) but no luck, same problem every time.
Has anyone had any luck with the 9.2 ATI drivers at all? After googling a *lot* I'm finding most people are having *lots* of trouble x.x .... (add one to the list now!).
Can anyone think what is wrong? Thanks
