Thank you all for all these informations:
I already tried to install the driver found on

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

but it supports only redhat, debian and suse. Centos is not supported.
@dungeon
I try to follow the same steps mentioned in the link you mentioned, i still looking for fglrx64

I imagine the RH install would work on Centos - you might have to tweak a script or something but AFAIK the Centos releases pretty much mirror the RHEL releases.

That link is outdated, just download the 15.12 driver from AMD's website, then try the two available installing options:

1) run the installer and generate .rpm packages (you will probably need to install some other packages before being able to do this), then install the .rpms.

2) if option 1) does not work (in your case the installer should either "think" that your OS is RHEL and generate the packages, or it will not recognize the OS at all), run the installer and select the automated installation option.

There are plenty of instructions on the web on how to try both ways.

I installed the RHEL 7 driver (15... version ) and after rebooting, the system crashed: no GUI, the keyboard didn't work, even with the "rescue kernel" I can't boot!! (see screeshot above)
the only thing working is the on-off button which i pressed to switch it off.
I'am just trying to find a way to be able to get access to a terminal to uninstall the package source of the problem.

I already tried what vkrastev said, the installer don't recognize my OS
i have to do it otherwise .

Hi all,
Centos 7 made "major" updates, so I made a second attempt to install kmod-fglrx.x86_64, fglrx-x11-drv.x86_64 and fglrx-x11-drv-devel.x86_64 using yum

"kmod" was installed without any problem however the installation of the second package failed, I got the following error message:

Running transaction

Working. This may take some time ...
Done.

The fglrx driver is deprecated and has not been updated for recent distro versions.

Please use the amdgpu-pro driver instead:

Distro is not recent, only hardware is recent

I wouldn't do what he do... SKL + PX on kernel 3.10 already smells like teen spirit to me

Upgrade kernel as much as amdgpu-pro can work would be ideal, because of SKL

[bridgman]

Good point - I had assumed a recent version of Centos because of the reference to "major updates"...

aruodg , what Centos version are you using ?

If it is a fairly recent version then there's a good chance it ships with open source drivers already included.

[dungeon]

Good point - I had assumed a recent version of Centos because of the reference to "major updates"...

Major updates as 7.3.1611 point, if he run something else he would say it i guess

That is still kernel 3.10 chocolate, xserver 1.17, no amdgpu there, etc... That won't work with neither of GPUs properly and fglrx probably fail because of chocolate

But amdgpu-pro supports 7.3 so that might work by some miracle, questionable is how that SKL behave on that much old kernel
