AMD Catalyst 12.6 Beta improvements?

That why you need to put valid signature follow instruction.

For me it was a simple matter of copying the control and signature files from the 12.4 release to /etc/ati. Even easier than following the instructions to the letter.

Hi, I installed the catalyst 12.6 beta drivers on my linux mint 13 maya system, using a radeon 7750 with hdmi, dvi-i and display port. extending the workspace to the hdmi and dvi works fine, but the monitor with the display port (using a display port to dvi adaptor) is not receiving a signal from the card. When I boot and post, I can see the bios bootup, but then goes black while the other two monitors are able to display the linux mint workspace. I'll look further.

it works

Wait that works?

I always suspected its more the display since it seems the machine is actually waking up and responding to commands but i never figured brightness would be a factor.

even I discovered this by mistake.. i knew the machine was waking up because of the fan sound.. so tried increasing the brightness... this works every time on my machine..YMMV

well, even my laptop has the same issue , though i do this little workaround of increasing the brightness a bit when i resume ,..this gets me rid of the blank screen, but it is annoying to do this everytime

Funnyly the 32 bit driver works with wheezy's xserver 1.12...

Please tell me they have/will be fixing suspend/resume...

Driving me nuts on my Fusion powered netbook. fglrx does everything better than the open source driver (power management and HD video playback etc) EXCEPT I cant suspend the machine without it coming back up with a blank screen. very frustrating.

Take control file and signature from stable build, not beta.

Thanks, worked grepping a signature from a stable release.

Maybe it is related to the used gcc version.
