ATI Catalyst 4.10 drivers out

http://www.ati.com/
Released a couple of days ago.
(sorry for the O/T post, but not everyone reads the other forums)

You need to think like a programmer not like a mathematician
4.10 the decimal is not a decimal is could just as easily be 4/10
i.e. the four point one you see is actually four point ten

ATI Catalyst 10.6 are out now.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/w ... n7-64.aspx
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/w ... n7-32.aspx

All it says about Final Cut is "Fixes an issue when importing certain media files into Final Cut Pro". Maybe we can assume this is Final Cut Pro X but it doesn't specifically say so nor does it say what type of media or what error is being fixed.

Has anyone out there installed Catalyst 4.10 Drivers Yet?

I saw that the new Catalyst Drivers are out. Has anyone installed them yet? Good or Bad? Catalyst v4.9 only works for me at AGP x 4. Has this problem been fixed for anyone with a 9600XT with v4.10?

It doesn't contain that fix, as they are older than the 8.07 build with the KOTOR fix.

Arch linux doesn't boot after installing AMD ATI Catalyst

I have a laptop which has a integrated graphic card intel 4th generation (4600) and an AMD ATI R9 m265x (hybrid Intel/AMD graphics card) so I have just installed AMD ATI Catalyst proprietary ones by following
AMD Catalyst ArchWiki.
I have used "Installing from the unofficial repository" method so in my pacman.conf I have added below entry for [catalyst-stable]:
[catalyst-stable]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://70.239.162.206/catalyst-mirror/repo/catalyst/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/catalyst/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch
Then I have update pacman's database and install below packages:
catalyst-hook
catalyst-utils-pxp
lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp
(No need to install catalyst-total-pxp as I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp)
After installing it, I have configured the driver, configuring X using below command:
# aticonfig --initial
In order to use PowerXpress support I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp package plus additional lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp.
To perform a switch into Intel's IGP I have also installed the mesa-libgl package and Intel's drivers: xf86-video-intel and intel-dri .
I have enable the automatic update by enabling the catalyst-hook.service with below commands since it automatically rebuilds the fglrx modules while the system shuts down or reboots (so I haven't to do it manually each time kernel is updated using Catalyst-generator):
# systemctl enable catalyst-hook
# systemctl start catalyst-hook
And finally I have blacklisted radeon module by creating "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklisted.conf" file which content is:
blacklist radeon
and also I have ensured that fglrx line is added in "/etc/modules-load.d/Catalyst.conf" file.
To avoid problems, I have rebuilt the fglrx module by doing (I know it is not necessary as it is done by catalyst-hook):
catalyst_build_module all
Once I reboot, arch linux does not boot. Last lines printed out are below and then it freezes:
Starting temp files linker to catalyst...
Starting Catalyst event Daemon...
[ OK ] Started Catalyst event Daemon
Starting Catalyst's fglrx kernel' module builder...
[ OK ] Started temp files linker for catalyst.
[ OK ] Started Catalyst's fglrx kernel' modue builder.
[ OK ] Started gnome Display manager.
[ OK ] Started Network manager.
[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User system.
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
[ OK ] Reached target Network.
I have tried to put nomodeset as a kernel parameter but it does not work. Also, after reading ArchWiki, I have noticed that it is recommended to don't do this as I am using catalyst-utils-pxp because intel driver needs it so I have removed nomodeset parameter from kernel but It continues not working.
Any ideas?
Package versions:
Kernel version 3.17.6-1-ARCH
catalyst-hook 14.12-1
catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1
xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-3

FInally I managed to boot arch linux.
I had to downgrade xorg-server from 1.16.2.901-1 to 1.15.2-1.
It seems there is a problem with Catalyst 14.12-1 and xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1.
Also I had to replace desktop manager from gdm to lightdm as gdm raises segmentation faults using xorg-server versions 1.16.2.901-1 and 1.15.2-1.
Finally I had to add an entry in pacman.conf:
[xorg115]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg115/$arch
## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
#Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg115/$arch
#Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg115/$arch
Then performs following actions:
1) # pacman -Syuu catalyst-hook catalyst-utils-pxp
2) Uninstall all the packages xf86* such as xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-synaptics, etc.
3) Install the packages uninstalled in step 2 and install them again using xorg115 repo, for example, # pacman -S xorg115/xf86-video-intel xorg115/xf86-input-evdev xorg115/xf86-input-synaptics
I have put a comment here.

Can't install ATI Catalyst

Hate to ask for help, but can't find anything from google. Also sorry if this is the wrong place to post it. Anywho, I'm having trouble installing ATI Catalyst. When I installed Arch I installed the oss drivers, but I can't play any resource heavy games (like Urban Terror). If there's another way o fix it without installing Catalyst, that's cool to.
Anyway, when I do pacman -S catalyst I get:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: catalyst-utils conflicts with libgl. Remove libgl? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ati-dri: requires libgl>=7.2
I'm not exactly sure how I should take care of that. Do I need to remove everything installed by the OS driver or what?

Alright so I think I've got it good.
http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/176 - xorg.conf
I removed libgl and xf86-video-ati, thats all the OS driver comes with, right? Tryin' to make sure I have everything cleaned up. ;o

ATI Catalyst Install Manager and catalyst Control Center Help

I just run the Windows 7 Upgrade
advisor report and it said that I should uninstall the ATI Catalyst Install Manager and Catalyst Control Center then reinstall after upgrade..
Could someone direct me where I might t find these programs for Windows 7

You must not do this. Just continue upgrade installation.
On my Satellite I got the same message but I have simply continued with upgrade.
At the end everything went fine.

[SOLVED]Problem installing ATI catalyst drivers

Hello arch users, ive been having trouble when installing the ati proprietary drivers through pacman. I followed the wiki and added the catalyst repo into my pacman.conf file. however when i type in sudo pacman -Syu i get this:

any idea on what to do?
i want to use the proprietary over the open source because it gives me less problems when using 3d rendering.
or are there any other ways of installing these packages other than pacman?

You could add 'SigLevel = Never' under the catalyst repo in pacman.conf, so that it doesn't check for package integrity.
And about the 404, maybe your 'Server' is incorrect. I use 'Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch'

Satellite L840/020 - need to re-install ATI Catalyst Control Center Win 8

I keep getting a message from Program Compatibility Assistant that I need to reinstall ATI Catalyst Control Center.
I went to their website and it said Toshiba laptops would need to get this from Toshiba.
I can't find this download.
My graphics card is the AMD Radeon 7670M
Satellite L840/020
Part No. PSK8LA-020007
Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

It seems to be that this notebook model is not supported for Win8. I found one US model with the same graphic card so try to install Win8 beta AMD display driver offered here .

Ati catalyst 4.4 and up won't install

I can't install any Ati catalyst driver versions above 4.4, I have a Gecube Radeon 9800XTreme and a Gecube 9200Se and drivers up to and including catalyst 4.3 install fine with either card but any version above gives message "Setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration. Please make sure you have the required hardware or software." Same goes for any of the modded drivers in those versions. All works fine in my other Asus Amd based computer. Any one else had these issues and maybe a solution.

If you are trying to install Control Panel you need to have Microsoft .net framework installed first.

ATI Catalyst 4.9 problem

I searched for this problem with this board in this forum but didn't find anything. I just upgraded the driver for my built by ATI 9600XT to Catalyst 4.9 without the .NET Framework thing from Catalyst 4.4. I tried running Aquamark and got a reboot both times I tried it. The first time was about 30 seconds in, the second time was about 5 seconds in. I re-installed 4.4 and it works fine. Has anyone else had this exact problem? If there's already a post on this, please direct me. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
By the way, it's not an overheat or power supply problem as I have plenty of fans and a somewhat competent power supply. Overdrive was not activated either. Everything in the system is at stock speeds. This is the first time I've ever had a spontaneous reboot andI built this PC last December. I can't think of anything other than the driver that could cause this.

Here's the verdict. I got crashes that caused complete reboots and crashes that only crashed back to the desktop and caused the error report thing to come up with both the ATI Catalyst 4.9 Driver and the Omega Driver with fastwrites enabled and disabled with AGP at 8X. I knew that lowering AGP to 4X fixed a lot of other people's problems, but I was hesitant to try it since I had always been rock stable. Based on the adivce in this thread, I lowered AGP to 4X and Aquamark 3 finished. However, I got a score of 30,436 at 30.44 fps where I used to get 31,273 at 31.27 fps with Catalyst 4.4 AGP X8 Fastwrites on. I know that this is very minor an I will see no real world difference, but an "upgraded" driver should not cause decreased performance or require the user to use less aggressive settings, shame on ATI.
McGeyser, I've been playing for about 12 years I guess. Unfortunately for me now, I didn't force myself to learn right-handed. What's wierd is that I'm right handed for most things, but I do write, eat, shoot a slingshot, play guitar, and brush my teeth left handed.....59 reissue....nice

AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!

AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!? When using AutoUpdate here are some things I had to do to get it working:
) installed standard Creative drivers for my X-FI Titanium 2.7.007
it worked
2)? installed ATI Catalyst 9.0
it stopped working.
3) by mistake I let Windows Update install its WHQL Creative driver
AutoUpdate started working
used the other shortcut for AutoUpdateA.exe to get updates for Creative products in windows 7 64, and it worked everytime to reinstall the Creative 2.7.007
4) three weeks later I installed Catalyst 9.2 drivers, and immediately after reboot, AutoUpdate is broken.
Windows 7 Action Center reports errors with Creative AutoUpdate.
If I delete Creative drivers using CTZAPP, Windows Update upon reboot will install its own update to Creative's drivers......... I reinstall Creative 2.7.007 and Creative AutoUpdate still works.
5) installed ATI Catalyst and it is broken again. The Catalyst installation breaks it everytime. Reinstalling Windows Update version of Creative drivers, uninstalling those and installing Creative's several times usually fixes AutoUpdate. Within a few days, Autoupdate will be broken.
Anybody else have the issue with Catalyst 9.0 to 9.2 and Creative AutoUpdate?
Keep in mind, this is not my "new cause" of the week. I just did a clean format a week or so ago, and I am trying to duplicate the problems others are having with AutoUpdate. About 40-45% of users have ATI cards I would guess and I am trying to figure out if this is a common thing with about half of the Creative users. We install Creative drivers and go along for a few weeks, as many people always say, and then something goes wrong.......A new Catalyst is released about once a month or every six weeks.

#Re: AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!B <div class="lia">"" try and just uninstall the CCC (Catalyst Control Center) and not the actual video drivers. Its the CCC (the little red "ATI" box in your task manager on the lower right) that is causing this problem. You will still have accelerated video with the drivers installed but not the special ATI utility to configure them. Use the built-in Windows 7 advanced graphics utility when you right click on the desktop (right-click and choose "Screen Resolution"). Inside that window is a link called "Advanced settings" which will let you do the same functions as the CCC does without the CCC's interference.
I hope this hel
ps.
Well this is not a good solution as you will loose advanced settings for your graphic card.

Where can I find 'old' version of ATI catalyst 8.11

I think I'm not the only person who can't use the current version of catalyst with arch64 (2.6.28 kernel).
It starts first time but on repeat starting it gives black screen and I can only reboot by log in with ssh.
The previous vesion of catalyst worked.
I tried to install 8.11 from the ATI page without success. The beta version 9.1 installs but server doesn't start (error, no screen found).
To my knowlege, the vesa driver can't be used with dual head setting, so an old catalyst version is my last hope. I couln't find a arch server which still hols the old package. Can anyone help me here ?.
Many thanks

Hi I was not able to rebuild PKGBUILD for 8.11 (i'm just a user). However here my intrem (hopefully ) silution:
First I start fluxbox via startx.
After exit X I have to
rm .Xauthority
sudo cp /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
With those steps I can restart X
I don't know what the steps do and I do not know if this can be automated (running whenever X is closed down).
Maybe someone can help here and knows why this method works ?
O'm on arch x86_64, kernel 2.6.28 with a HIS radeon 4650 card

ATI catalyst 9.1 is out. anyone installed
