[SOLVED] ATI Driver Catalyst installation problems.

I am having real trouble installing the official catalyst drivers. I followed both these guides with noavail. http://www.neuraladvance.com/installing … linux.html and http://www.ramblgyrl.com/2014/11/instal … rch-linux/.
When I finish installing it just holds at the end of the boot cycle with no error I can only TTY into the system. Im not really sure what outputs you require but ill post a lspci.

So I've been playing around. I have found other forum posts referring to my problem ( [link] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141130 [/link] ). I tried to install the drivers form the zip directly from the ATI website. I recieved this log file from the installer:
Supported adapter detected.
Detected a previous installation, /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh
Dryrun uninstall succeeded continuing with installation.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.

For detailed log of uninstall, please see /etc/ati/fglrx-uninstall.log
System must be rebooted to avoid system instability and potential data loss.

[SOLVED] CD Drive causing boot problems

It just stops there and won't continue to boot. Disconnecting the SATA cable from my CD drive and using a flash drive to boot fixes these issues, but I didn't continue with the install because I wasn't sure if I would be unable to boot with the drive plugged in later. This is my CD drive. It's connected to a SATA 6GB/s port on my motherboard. The drive works perfectly in Windows.
Also, if anyone knows anything about the USB error, help would be appreciated. That was the only error that did not go away after disconnecting my CD drive. I only have a keyboard, mouse, and WiFi dongle plugged in.

Your issue with the SATA disc drive is a problem with Udev. Namely that some SATA disc drives do not support 16-byte pass-through commands coming from Udev. See this post for a longer explanation and the correct workaround:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=895404
Other guides online will say to comment out parts of Udev's 60-persistent-storage.rules file, but I have found that to not only not work, but mess up detection of the SATA hard drives.
So, after, or during, Arch installation using your USB stick:
Add
options libata atapi_passthru16=0
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
Add
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Rebuild kernel image with:
mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
To narrow down your USB issue, maybe you could try booting with only one plugged in at a time to identify which one has the issue. Do they all three work even though one gives this message?

ATI Driver Package GCC4 Problem

Hi,
I'm following this tutorial to build an ATI driver package, but I'm getting these errors:
/var/abs/local/ati-drivers/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/nvidia-agp.c:57: error: static declaration of '__fgl_agp_try_unsupported' follows non-static declaration
/var/abs/local/ati-drivers/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/agp_backend.h:92: error: previous declaration of '__fgl_agp_try_unsupported' was here
After googling around, the problem seems to be with GCC versions (I'm using 4.0.1, the driver probably uses 3.x.x). Then this post pointed me to a patch. Pardon my ignorance, but how do I use this patch? Or are there any other options available?
Thanks!
Will

I saved it as a .patch file in {driver dir}/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod and it works!

[SOLVED][ATI] Driver and/or Kernel Issue?

Hi all,
I've got a serious issue on my Workstation.
The installation is only a few days old. It's the first Linux Installation on this system. So I don't know if ohter distributions/kernelversions would do it without any issue. I've not tried to install ATI propritary drivers as xorg 1.16 is installed.
System specs:
GPU ATI R9 270x
CPU Intel Haswell i5-4440
Board MSI H87-G43
RAM 8 GB Mushkin DDR-3/1333
Samsung SSD 830
Problem discription:
The system crahes randomly (after 5 mins. or after an two hours). Screen Blanks. Nothing is available. I had to do a hard reset every time. This happen in all circumstences e. g. Browsing Internet or even if there is nothing done on the computer. In all cases I've got no log-entries.
But the last crash was different: the Display came back after a few minutes (just for the record: I've waited every crash for 10-15 mins. -.-).
I've got the following log:

The last three lines will repaet for a few minutes with different ADDR and STATUS messages. I've cut the log.
Please help me to fix this. Thanks in advance.

As the message implies, it seems to occur when the kernel changes power states. In use it does align, as the hard locks tend to occur most frequently in steam or if I encounter rich web content. I'm beginning to suspect a hardware fault, but I'm going to try disabling DRM and test.

Portal Drive Client Installation Problem

Hello Everyone,
I am attempting to install the Portal Drive Client on my PC and the installation finishes with the following errors. Does anyone know what could be causing this and/or how to resolve the problem?

Hi Scott,
What version of Portal Drive are you attempting to install? Also, what desktop O/S are you using?
We are in the process of going to Windows 7 for our desktop, and we are having issues getting Portal Drive 4.4.6317.17 to work with it. I just submitted an OSS message on it.

BF2 disk drive and installation problems (Windows XP Home on a MBP)

So I've taken the leap and installed Windows XP Home on my MacBook Pro. It makes me cringe.
It was not an easy process. Installing Windows took me about 4 hours. There would be an error, I would have to eject the disk, reboot, and the promised 39 minutes seemed to be 5 times slower than it actually was. By the time I got Windows installed it seemed to be running ok, until yesterday.
Yesterday, I tried to install Battlefield 2 Deluxe Edition onto Windows. I inserted the first disc (1 of 5) and my MBP spit it right back out. This happened almost 10 times until finally when viewing "My Computer", the MBP accepted the disk. I then started to install. It froze up a couple of times, so I restarted. Same problem: the MBP wouldn't accept the disk. It finally did, I started install and it finally went. And then, about 4 or 5 percent of the way in, it stopped and said somethign along the lines of "BF2 installation failed, please restart install from the beginning". I did, and got the same message.
Any ideas?
2.0GHz MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.5 Gb RAM

Now that I have thought about it, I would have to guess that the problem is my SuperDrive.
That would attain for the slow Windows Installation and the BF2 problems.
I also am having problems importing a CD into iTunes. Seems like enough of a problem to make a visit to the Apple store.

[SOLVED] ATI Driver - No Video After Startx

I've recently completed a fresh install of Arch on a new machine. Everything was going great until I attempted to configure the proprietary ATI suite. I'm using a Radeon 4670 HD card. After I execute startx, I am left with blank screens. I've been following instructions by way of the Arch Wiki, in the ATI Catalyst article. I have correctly installed catalyst-daemon and catalyst-utils. Once installed, I issued:
# aticonfig --initial=dual-head
# aticonfig -v
After that, I rebooted. This is when my screen stayed black after trying to start X. To remedy this (as according to the wiki) I booted to init3, then issued:
# rm /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
I rebooted, and was still faced with the same issue. Next I tried:
# aticonfig --initial=dual-head --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
# aticonfig -v --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Reboot, still no luck. After this I tried:
aticonfig --acpi-services=off --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Again, after reboot, still a black screen. At this point I feel like I'm just jacking up the issue worse than it was already. I'd be grateful for any information regarding this issue. Thanks.
edit: I forgot to mention that I am attempting to run dual monitors. On the back of the card, there is a DVI in, and VGA in, and an HDMI in. I'm using two VGA monitors, so one cable is going to the VGA, and the other with an adapter running to the DVI in.

First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to reply, all of your help is very appreciated. I finally got things working (well sort of.) I tried to blacklist the radeon module in rc.conf, which didn't seem to do anything. So then, I created a conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ to blacklist the radeon module, which did work. I am now able to boot into XFCE with sort of functioning dual monitor support- this will be my next task. Does anyone know why blacklisting with a modprobe conf file takes precedence over blacklisting in rc.conf? I'm guessing that modprobe is one of the first things checked at load-up. Should I keep the module !'d in rc.conf as well, or is it safe to remove that listing?

ATI Xpress 1250 Catalyst 9.3 Driver installation problem

I have an ATI Xpress 1250 Radeon integrated graphics card on my laptop.
The v9.4 drivers from the AUR crash my X and hangs with no keyboard/mouse interaction.
The ATI driver website said the card required the 9.3 drivers which when installing gave this error:

I'm not quite sure, but the ATI Xpress 1250 may have been dropped from the driver support list. AMD/ATI changed a few things there back one month or so.
Apart from this you should not try the driver from amd but test this one from aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25105
Thank you!!
That was exactly what I wanted to know!
I was using the catalyst 9.4 drivers in the AUR and was searching for the legacy drivers from the AUR.
Thanks again! Will try and post the results.

Overheating the laptop - Ati driver problem (SOLVED)

Hi ppl.
I have Acer Aspire 5732 Z laptop. Intel Pentium processor T4400 2.2 GHz. Ati Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512 MB VRAM, 15.6", 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD.
I successfully solved all the problems during the installation, but this one I can not handle. The laptop is HEATING too much. I also have Ubuntu 9.10 on the other partition and its all fine. Its working on the temperature of ~46 C. And my Arch is working on the temperature of ~60 C. So its about 15 C difference between Ubuntu and Arch. Way too much.
Arch is running in KDE mode. Have to add that I installed all KDE packages. Maybe the cause of this problem ?
I am using the proprietary Ati Radeon driver. I tried to change it with open source Ati driver but Xorg refused to configure again (gave me a blank screen).
I checked Wiki on laptop, but didnt succeded to solve this problem. Here s my rc.conf:
MODULES=( acpi-cpufreq )
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !acpid !acpi-support powernowd wicd !network !netfs alsa crond laptop-mode kdm)
powernowd configuration:
OPTIONS="-q -u 30 -l 10"
acpi-support is blacklisted because I installed it from AUR and didnt managed it to work. Its just saying "no permission" during the boot. I actually installed it because I read that its Ubuntus Acpi management. ~ I repeat Acpi is working fine on my Ubuntu.
I can also show my laptop-mode configuration files - if needed.
I am a newbie for Arch but I rlly done my best on this issue as I want to use this system. I think its great and highly configurable and I just love the fact its a rolling distro. But I cant use it overheating.
So, please help.

I am using lmsensors on Arch and some kind of panel sensor on Mint, but its ok for sure. Few minutes ago I checked temperature on Arch and it was 56 C. Then I rebooted and when I logged into Mint it was 56 C. But few mins later temperature normalized to 45 C in Mint. After lsmod I logged into Arch again and temperature raised to 54 C.
So its Arch problem for sure.
@hokasch
I am not sure about noise level of fans. Sounds similar to me. But maybe its a fan problem. I know its sometimes loud and sometimes silent. Probably depends on the system temperature. Maybe Arch cant control it normaly. Is there any kind of software that is used for fan speed ?

[SOLVED]Swapping from xf86-video-ati driver to catalyst

Hey everyone,
So as the title implies, I need some help on this. I tried doing a pacman -R xf86-video-ati, then setting my xorg over to vesa as the driver prior to installing the catalyst driver. That part went fine. Installed catalyst which updated my xorg accordingly. Rebooted, and X won't load. So per ATI's instructions, I removed the catalyst driver, reloaded, did a new xorg - configure and worked my way back to xf86-video-ati.
I would really like to get catalyst going. Where did I screw up on my first attempt? I saw somewhere on the forum that you can actually get 3d working with the xf86 driver, but I forgot to bookmark that thread lol. Here's a copy of my current xorg if it helps at all.

It's not Xorg that is the issue. It's the Catalyst drivers, they only support up to Xorg 1.6.
So you will have to downgrade Xorg in order to use them.
I'm using the xf86-video-ati drivers myself on Xorg 1.7 with a HD4850, 2D works fine. Xv and especially 3D is a no-go so far, but my system has been running for just a day now, so i'm still setting up lots of things.
In the new kernel (2.6.32) there is KMS support for the Radeon HD3xxx and HD4xxx series. I'm hoping that will get the drm module working (fails to initialize over here), and i'm hoping that will bring me at least Xv support, so I can watch videos properly. The open-source ati driver does support it.
So if you can wait for that kernel to move from testing to core, that's what I would do before jumping into the Xorg 1.6 and Catalyst "jungle".
[Edit]
I got Xv working by disabling KMS tries by the kernel, using "nomodeset" in my kernel boot line.
OpenGL attempts (even glxgears) crashes

Installation of ATI driver for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1

Dear Thinkpad users. After many failures and zero support from official resources, this is a comprehensive, unbiased installation procedure for the official ATI driver with Catalyst Control Center for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1. In my experience, the latest driver for these cards written for Windows Vista 32-/64-bit works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 and you will benefit from multi-monitor support, full HW-acceleration and the PowerPlay option in Catalyst Control Center as well. Install only the official ATI driver, no other modification required. (The installation may work also on non-Thinkpad systems, such as Dell etc. but I have not tested it on that systems)
Installation procedure:
1. Before installation, ensure you are logged as an administrator
2. Go to ‘Control Panel’ -> ‘Power Options’ and click on ‘Choose what the power buttons do’ option from the list on the left side of the window
3. Go to ‘Shut-down settings’ on the bottom and disable ‘Turn on fast start-up (recommended)’. Unchecking that checkbox is very important because it will prevent the problem with start-up black screen on the computer.
4. Go to ‘Control Panel’ again and choose ‘Programs and Features’, then click on ‘Turn Windows features on or off’
5. Select the checkbox ‘.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) to turn it on and wait until the installation is completed
6. Go to Windows update and install all important updates including those for ‘.NET Framework 3.5 as well
7. Download ATI video driver from the website of your hardware vendor. For Lenovo Thinkpad T60, T60p users the latest ATI video driver is for Windows Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), please visit http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t60... and download the driver
8. Once you have the driver downloaded right-click on the file and choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu.
9. Click on ‘Compatibility’ card then ‘Change settings for all users’ and check in the checkbox at ‘Compatibility mode’ with the option for Windows Vista as well as at ‘Run this program as an administrator’
10. Double left-click and install the program.
11. Go to the location ‘C:\drivers\WIN\VIDEO and open the file ‘Bin’ (for Windows 8.1 32-bit users) or ‘Bin64’ (for Windows 8.1 64-bit users)
12. Right click on ‘Setup’ file; choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu and repeat the step 9
13. Once you have set the properties, double left-click on that file and install the driver
14. Follow the installation instructions and finish the installation
15. Restart the computer
cheers

hey , can u help me ? i am having the same problem

ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
Now the problem has begun...
I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...
Message was edited by: Giraku

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I still have to find a verification for this, but:
Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
Sorry
Stefan

Bootcamp, ATI 4850 driver not installs on windows 7 x64.

Hi all, I need some help with ATI driver installation.
I followed Windows x64 installation instructions available
on Apple page.
Here is how I installed Windows 7 x64:
1. Partitioning - went fine.
2. Windows 7 x64 Installation - black screen issue encountered.
3. I prepared usb drive as described on apple page - didn't work
Black screen again - I rebooted several times with no success.
4. I removed atikmdag.sys- according to description found on the internet.
5. Then I was able to complete installation.
6. Installed Bootcamp 3.0 from MaxOS CD
7. I was asked for reboot - I confirmed.
8. Black screen again!
9. I repeated point 4 (atikmdag.sys removal) and then
was able to login to Win7
10. I installed Bootcamp 3.1 for windows 64 update.
11. I was asked for reboot - I confirmed.
12. Black screen AGAIN!
13. I repeated point 4 AGAIN (atikmdag.sys removal) and then
was able to login to Win7
14. I tried to repeat unistall/install of Bootcamp 3.0/3.1
several times with the same result:
A). Install Bootcamp
B). Bootcamp asks for reboot
C). Black screen issue
D). manual atikmdag.sys removal
E). go to A.
I also tried ATI Catalyst drivers installation but there is still Black screen issue and driver is not really installed.
Also I executed Windows Update and tried to install ATI driver
from there, but its installation fails!
I have iMac i7 8GB RAM - just got it two days ago and can't it really use with Win7
I'll appreciate any help.

Plug in another monitor this will fix the problem. windows/apple (one of the two) turns the mini port in the back into the main output. once you plug in a new monitor the install will continue and the drivers are updated of the apple disc will will be able to unplug the monitor and everything should be ok.

ATI Driver Problem - Encore CS5

Hi All,
I have spent a number of hours now trying to troubleshoot an issue with Encore CS5. I have it installed on a HP 6930p Notebook computer with a ATI HD3400 onboard video card. Whenever Encore starts, my screens go black and I get an error "display driver stopped responding and has recovered". I have the latest (22nd October 2010) drivers installed and I have tried changing nearly every setting for the display card, but to no avail. It is obviously the driver, because if I change the driver back to the standard Microsoft driver, the software works, but with limited resolution and without the ability to extend screens. If I also revert to the oldest version of the ATI driver, it doesn't black out, just crashes with a "application has stopped working" error.
Now I could just keep changing drivers when I use Encore, but this is a bit extreme and you would think it would work. All my other CS5 software works ok... PPro, AE, Photoshop, InDesign etc.
Operating System is Windows 7 Enterprise 64Bit with 4GB Memory.
Anyone got any suggestions or advice? Or is anyone else having a similar issue and managed to solve the problem?
I could always install my older version of Encore CS4, but does installing Encore CS4 after CS5 has been installed cause any issues or problems? Is this the easiest answer?
Regards, John.

You have to do what you have to do, but I would be reluctant to settle for EN CS4 with a CS5 suite - dynamic link is further improved, and you'll be giving that up or complicating it.
(Yes, there are some users with problems, particularly doing Bluray, and they refer to using CS4 at times to fix things. I like dual installations.)
No real idea on the video card issues. I do think it is interesting that it is only Encore.

I need to replace a failed hard drive in my 2006 dv2000t laptop. The drive I'm replacing was already a replacement drive from the original 80GB drive that shipped with laptop. That first replacement 3 years ago (2008) was a 200GB drive, that worked well for about 3 years. But it just crashed (apparently). I was getting some "S.M.A.R.T" imminent drive failure warnings a week prior, and then it finally would no longer boot-up. Subsequent tests on the extracted drive show it as having many failed sectors.
I had no problem ordering a replacement drive the first time in 2008, restoring an Acronis backup image of original drive, installing it, etc. All went smoothly in 2008. So I assumed all would go smoothly again for yet another replacement and upgrade.
In 2008 the drive I ordered was a W.D. (Western Digital, sticking with the same brand as original) 2.5-in 5400rpm SATA drive (200GB). That was a SATA (I) drive (1.5 Gbit/s interface).
The first drive I recently ordered (Mar 2011) was a W.D 2.5-in 7200rpm 500GB SATA II (3.0 Gbits/s interface) drive (from W.D.'s "Scorpio Black" line.) Got the drive, burned the disc image to it, and popped it into the laptop. Unfortunately, upon startup, and after BIOS screen, all I get is a black screen with a fast flashing white cursor at the top of the screen. Drive apparently is not being recognized by the computer? Then I did some reading in a few on-line forums and found some references about this laptop not doing well with drive capacities over 320GB, nor with 7200rpm drives (because they run hotter than 5400 drives). And finally, references to the SATA interface speed. I ordered a 2nd drive, this one from W.D's "Scorpio Blue" line, this time a 5400rpm 320GB drive (but still SATA II). Same story, still won't work. So I decided that maybe the issue was the SATA speed. So I found someone who still had an older SATA (1.5 GBit/s) W.D. drive in stock . It's a W.D. SATA 250GB (no longer made). It should arrive in a couple days -- and I'm hoping this one works!
I would like to get some kind of confirmation about the blinking white cursor on the black screen on start-up. Is that typicalif the system not finding a bootable hard drive? Also, is this SATA vs. SATA-II issue a likely cause of my problem? I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the new drives themselves, and the restored images on them , as the drives will mount and are accessible when I plug them in as external drives on my other computer.
This question was solved.

I have been able to solve my own hard drive installation problems. It turns out that there were no issues with any of the new replacement drive(s) I ordered (thinking I had ordered drives with the wrong specs). The solution to the problem was a simple one. The restored drives were not booting because there was no MBR (Master Boot Record) on the drives after disc image restoration.
I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 as my disc imaging (backup) software. And I just didn't understand how to properly restore backed up images to a new hard drive. I had done everything correctly except that I had not checked the box to "restore MBR" -- at the time not understanding what that was or its significance. Once I checked that box, and reimaged the new drive, it worked fine.
