AMD Catalyst 10.1 Driver For Linux Released

[dopehouse]

It's very disappointing that packages don't build on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64. Production support added... yeah sure.

Anyway, this worked for me:

chmod +x ./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run

./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract

cd fglrx-install.xxxx/arch/x86_64/usr/lib64/
(Replace "fglrx-install.xxxx" with the name of the directory that the installer created on your system)

ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1

cd ../../../..

sudo ./ati-installer.sh 10.1 --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic

Done!

Happy building,

-- Andr?s

Thanks, it works.

any patch or hint how to compile 10.1 on Gentoo ?

I updated the ebuild according to the patch in following bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297322

unfortunately the patch mentioned in the bug: 2.6.32-9.11-fix_compilation.patch

or

2.6.32-9.12-fix_compilation.patch (in renamed form)

doesn't seem to work anymore or I'm running into another kind of problem:

openSUSE 11.2 results

Just a message for the non-ubuntu fans:
Installed the Catalyst 10.1 on openSUSE 11.2/64 on an HP Elitebook 8530p and......
...
(suspense building)
....

It worked! This is the first Catalyst driver that actually worked since I've had the Elitebook, and boy I tried them all.


Now I go and enjoy my KDE desktop effects. Please do not disturb me.

[leidola]

10.1 doesn't work with opencl. Just tried :-). You have to use 9.12 hotfix.

Hmmm... but shouldn't 10.1 be newer than 10.1 hotfix?
And what about xvba?

ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1

Thanks for that!

FYI, if anyone's building on the Karmic 2.6.31 RT kernel, you need fix up some line references on the DKMS patch:

in fglrx-install.XXXXXX/packages/Ubuntu/dists/karmic/dkms/patches/rt_preempt_31.patch , change the line:
@@ -4998,7 +5005,11 @@ unsigned int ATI_API_CALL KAS_Mutex_GetO

to:

Install Guide on Ubuntu Karmic

I got the Catalyst 10.1 working on Karmic x86.
There are to methods to to this:

MANUAL:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libQtGui4
sudo wget www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run
sudo chmod +x ./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run
./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract
cd fglrx-install*/arch/x86/usr/lib/
ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1
cd ../../../..
sudo ./ati-installer.sh 10.1 --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic
cd
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
sudo reboot


AUTOMATIC:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libQtGui4
sudo wget www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run
sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run
--> handle through installation --> automatic
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
sudo reboot


The Catalyst 10.1 is working very fine. For me the first catalyst without tearing by playing XV-Videos.
But now I have another problem. My PC is connected via a AV-Receiver to my Plasma-TV.
Catalyst detects the AV-Receiver as an projector.
In CCC I do not have the Under-/Overscan Controls. I think the problem is that he thinks it is an projector so its disabled.
Now I have black edge around my tv.
In CCC 9.12 I had the same problem. CCC 9.11 and older ones were working fine with the under-/overscan tab in CCC.

Does everyone also have this problem?

[QUOTE=Steo;110202]I got the Catalyst 10.1 working on Karmic x86.
None cared about architecture :

if you are x86 :
./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract
cd fglrx-install*/arch/x86/usr/lib/
ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1
cd ../../../..
sudo ./ati-installer.sh 10.1 --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic

if you are x86_64 :
./ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract
cd fglrx-install*/arch/x86_64/usr/lib64/
ln -s libatiuki.so.1.0 libatiuki.so.1
cd ../../../..
sudo ./ati-installer.sh 10.1 --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic

Then should work for everyone

Broken xorg failsafe

Has anyone noticed the driver crashes if ati card is not there? And nothing else than power switch can get it out...
Hopefully ext4 filesystem is prety tough!

Xorg failsafe is vital for me as I move my hardrive between home and work...

No other way but to downgrade to 9.12...

Thank you very much AMD for your official Ubuntu Karmic support, just love it!

[baskin]

Installed fine and working without problems on Opensuse 11.2 and 11.1 (both 64bit).

Hope to see some real improvements soon....

xorg support

What's wrong with you AMD? By the time you start supporting xorg server 1.7, the 1.8 will be out!
