ATI/AMD driver problem, HD6470M & HD6520G

Hi everyone, I've just installed Arch on my laptop which is lenove Z475 with AMD Radeon HD 6470M & HD 6520G, and it seems I've met several problem with the driver.
First, I've tried the catalyst, using "catalyst-generator 11.8-1", adding "radeon.modeset=0", but the topbar of Gnome3 just disappear and it crashed a few times.
So I decided to use "xf86-video-ati", but if I don't add "radeon.modeset=0", the screen goes black.
If I add "radeon.modeset=0", then I only got a "fallback" mode.
I've read wiki but still didn't how to solve it and I've tried to search but English is not my mother tongue, and I don't really know what "key word" would work better...
So... how to make the xf86-video-ati driver work normally?
Anybody can help?

ATI drivers from what I know still have major issues with Gnome3 - I am not sure if there is a solution. Check the AUR comments on catalyst package. I don't personally use Gnome so I'm not 100% sure.

Monitor Is Flickering - ATI Display Driver Problem Error Message

Hello, for the last few weeks, I have been having a monitor issue. Everytime I turn my computer and monitor on, it is flickering like crazy on my HP 2509B Desktop Monitor, and on the right bottom corner a flag shows up with ATI Display driver, and I am trying to figure out how to repair this monitor issue. I don't know if it is coming from the Monitor itself or its coming from the Mother Board TOWER, I am going crazy with this and its hurting my eyes everytime I turn it.
Sometimes the flickering would just go off by itself, and now its doing it constantly. I don't know what to do with this.
I love my monitor and I hate to see to replace it or something. Please help me with this. I hope it is not a driver hardware issue.
I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get to do this myself if not then I am going to have to take to the store I bought it from and get them to help me out, but I want to do this on my own. If you can help. Thanks

if you have another monitor you can test it to see if if does the same thing and also check the cable and maybe use a different one to see if the cable is not the cause which i doubt
Please provide Kudos to whom has provided answers or
good points or advice..

Hp 4730s amd driver problem

Hy,
I have a HP ProBook 4730s.
I use Win 7 Home Premium x64.
I try to install the amd driver, but I can use only Intel Family video card.
How can I install amd driver? (delete the intel, or something else?)
Which AMD driver is good for my laptop?
Thanks for the answers!
Best Regards,
Miklós

Hi:
What is the full model number of your g7? What operating system?
If it has the radeon 7670M, you only install the AMD driver, which installs the drivers for both the Intel and AMD GPU's..
Never install the standalone Intel graphics driver.
Uninstall all graphics drivers you installed, reboot, and then install the AMD graphics driver only and reboot.

K8MM-ILSR & ATI 9550 driver problem

I ahve a K8MM-ILSR & ATI 9550. The internal video card is disabled and driver is not installed. When the ATI 9550 driver is installed the system will have random crashes. As soon as the ATI 9550 driver is deleted, everything is stable. No crashes.

Thanks, I've tried two different versions of the drivers and no luck. Could the monitor have something to do with this? My 17' Sony monitor is 8 years old. (It is in perfect shape for being that old.)

Satelite Pro A200 ATI display driver problem

Hello there,
Have following problem: Can't install ATI software on my notebook. There is an error message during installation: "Catalyst Install Manager can't initialize Detection Manager".
OS - Vista Business
Display adapter - Mobility Radeon HD2600
Any suggestions?

Hi
You could try to use another installation procedure;
- Unzip the ATI graphic card driver package
- access the device manager and choose the graphic card
- choose update the driver and point to the palace where the display driver package was unzipped.
This should help to renew and to reinstall the graphic driver.

HP Envy 14 1190ea AMD Driver Problem

Hello.
I've been searching for a while now to update the drivers for the graphics card processor.But I didn't find a solution.So , after running Windows Update two days ago , I discovered that the switchable graphics are not working anymore and whenever I try the AMD Catalyst Control Center it says to me that there are no configurable devices available on the laptop so it just shuts down.I've already tried a system recovery point , but the problem persists.What do I have to do in order to obtain the much needed drivers?Is there anyway you could provide with a solution or a link to a solution?
Thanks in advance for the support.
EDIT
I'm gonna try to uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstall them to see if this is the right solution.
This question was solved.

Hi:
The problem is that you cannot update the graphics drivers for your model.
The only driver you can use is this one.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-101852-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
What happened was that Windows Update found an updated driver for the Intel portion of the switchable graphics but now that driver has caused the amd radeon gpu to quit working.
So, you are correct.
You need to go to the device manager, uninstall the Intel graphics driver windows update installed, reboot and reinstall the amd graphics driver above.
Then ignore or hide any updates you get for the Intel gpu.

[Athlon64] Cool n Quiet and AMD driver problem...

I hate to be the one to start another cool and quiet thread, but this is a problem I can't figure out. I have been running cool and quiet on my NEO Athlon 64 motherboard for over a year now, and it has worked perfectly, until today. I re-installed windows, because it was giving me problems, thanks to one too many virus and spyware attacks over the past year. Anyway, I installed windows, installed service pack 1, and all the assorted drivers for my hardware. I downloaded the latest AMD cpu driver and installed it. I have my power option set to minimal. I have everything just as it was, but the cool and quiet never kicks in. I am monitoring it with the Cool and Quiet panel, and it just sets at 2000 mhz. Cool and Quiet is turned on in the bios, and so is acpi. Windows xp reports having ACPI installed. I'm stumped. Is the fact I am using SP1 and have not upgraded to SP2 have anything to do with this? I notice the latest AMD cpu driver mentions it is for winxp SP2. I am avoiding SP2 because it has an issue with software that I use on my network. If it's because of SP2, is there a site I could download the older AMD cpu drivers from, to get this thing working? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello dude!
Well I remember to be in the same case, but when I reinstalled the WinXP, it comes with the SP2 integrated and I just active the Cool n Quiet installing the AMD Power Monitor lasted version and set se PM to Minimal, and it works perfectly, And about your problem with the WinXPSP2 Firewall you just have to unmark the LAN protection from the Firewall settings and thats all...
Enjoy the Life, Enjoy AMD...

Lenovo g510 amd driver problem

my new lenovo g510 reads the amd vga as r5 m230 instead of 8570 altthough i installed the driver from the official cd ?? is that a problem or okay ?

Hi Zoomin,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m glad to inform you that as the driver is installed and working as expected this confirms that driver is for the exact mentioned AMD Hardware and there is no need to worry.
Do post us back for further queries.

K9A ATI Filter Driver Problem

Looking for some ideas about this problem....
Crossfire system, x1950's in Vista 32bit.
This system was rock solid for months, until cataylst 7.7, but problem may not be related two catalst. System started having memory errors, PFN and memory manager errors, removing a stick of memory cleared up the errors, and catalst stopped showing an option for crossfiring so i removed the second video card.
I now have one stick of memory and one video card installed and the systen is stable. I have completely removed catayst and reinstalled and it's stable.
When i put the second stick of memory in, I blue screen. (already tried different memory)
The southbridge filter driver shows resource problems "Input/Output Range 0000 - 0CF7 used by and ACPI x86-based PC Memory Range 40000000 - FFFFFFFF not available."
ATI's not much help, any ideas?
Thanks, Bretware

Just to make things clear:
Do all the memory sticks you try work if they are alone?
With only one stick of memory "even" Catalyst 7.7 works?
But Crossfire wont work in any situation?
There is some kind of crossfire bridge or bracket between the two graphics cards, isn't there, that has caused all kind of problems.
Other than that, one thinks of Vista having a problem getting things in the right order - may have trouble with anything. What is the system temperature?

Win7 Lenovo G570 - May29,13 AMD driver problem

Trying to install the late May 29, 13 drivers on my lenovo g570 laptop. Win7-64 bit AMD HD6370M
Removed all trails and scents of my earlier drivers prior to intalling
Problems:
- the install goes through suspiciously fast and does not actually install ANYthing. After rebooting, the display drivers are still shown as vga.dll etc not atioxxx-something. dll
Have tried re-downloading should it have been a corrupt download, followed through the same procedure - nothing changes.
The problems occur with this particular package, earlier installs work fine, BUT...I wouldn't be asking about it if I didn't want to install the new ones, would I?
What to do?
Thanks

Hi
Iv'e not seen this happening in the Y560 which also runs an AMD . If you dont have a particular reason of installing only 11.10 I would suggest you could try the older versions especially the LTS ones.. The Unity interface sucks IMO

Amd/ati video drive

Question.. i'm having a problem with my AMD/ATI VIDEO DRIVE.. It has been suggested to uninstall the program.. will my laptop run properly or how do i resolve this issue.. i no longer have a warranty it is almost 4 years old...

Your graphics card(and most hardware) requires drivers to run efficiently. If you do not have proper drivers installed your graphics card may run at full performance and overheat. The best thing to do is go to the AMD website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.
Btw what problem are you facing?

check if you have installed this driver:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-110777-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
if yes - do you get an error message about driver stopped working?
When does it occur?
Have you checked if it is a heat problem?
