Maybe the open community can get in there and create a suitable driver.

Anyway:- ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract NewDirectory
- Apply the patch as described by Vi0L0 in the previous post
- sudo ./ati-installer.sh 13.251 --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
- And install the build packages, placed one directory up
- ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract catalyst
- Apply the patch as described by Vi0L0 in the previous post
Code:$ [B]patch -Np1 -i ./looks_like_amd_forgot_this.patch[/B] can't find file to patch at input line 3 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |--- 13.12/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c 2013-12-17 20:05:35.000000000 +0100 |+++ 13.12/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c 2013-12-19 18:40:18.386568588 +0100 -------------------------- File to patch: /home/bii/downloads/amd/catalyst/ati-installer.sh patching file /home/bii/downloads/amd/catalyst/ati-installer.sh Hunk #1 FAILED at 995. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file /home/bii/downloads/amd/catalyst/ati-installer.sh.rej
honestly, i'm confused which files should be selected, File to patch: /home/bii/downloads/amd/catalyst/ati-installer.sh or File to patch: /home/bii/downloads/amd/catalyst/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c

13.12 version is probably the worst version I tried in years, at least on Ubuntu 64bit. Everything works fine after the restart, but after a while, videos don't play anymore (not in vlc, nor in mplayer; xv isn't diplaying anything, x11 works, gl crashes), steam client crashes at startup 8 out of 10 times, and when it starts, it's just flickering garbage in its window. Basically, any game just crashes within fglrx_dri.so Since I have a 7950 card, open source drivers aren't the best solution, but a few more days of this, and I'll try to use them on a regular basis. Absoulte garbage (literary!)...

Originally posted by grigi View PostWhy do never get issues like this? I rarely experience inconsistent crashes in anything I do, and have been running on fglrx for over a year after my previous machine had a Nvidia card. I actually experience LESS crashes with fglrx than Nvidia. My notebook has been up 5 days now, in that 5 days I have been using KDE, VLC, Steam (playing metro and psychonauts), multiple suspend & hibernation cycles, and I have experienced nothing distracting.
