[Solved]Installed AMD Catalyst drivers. Are they activated?

This must be a really stupid question.
I have installed the Catalyst drivers from the repo, but in KinfoCenter I'm getting something else:
It's not a VMware installation, it's alongside Windows.
So, am I using the Catalyst drivers or not?
Thanks.

I'm sorry but the image is just 125KB, and that's not much at all, even for a slow connection.
Anyways, is there a bug in KinfoCenter? How does it read those values? I would like to try them manually. Thanks

[SOLVED]Are X11 and AMD catalyst drivers friends again?

last time i installed linux on my laptop X11 had dropped support fro amd catalyst drivers (proprietary video card drivers), did amd do something about it? did X11 team reconsider? can i use the catalyst drivers on X11 again now? my laptop and it's stupid APU or "dual graphics" aren't playing so nice with the open source radeon drivers.

If wine supported skype, i would be more dead set on using linux than using the amd proprietary drivers.
The reason this isn't a big deal to me is mostly because i only use this laptop for 3 things, regardless of OS. Teamspeak 3, Skype, Playing Videos.
I have it set up on a dual boot because neither windows nor linux seem to be reliable on this laptop, the reason is hardware-side, this APU is driving me nuts.
The reason i'm having problems with the radeon drivers is that even if i set my computer to disable the "switchable graphics" on boot it sometimes seems to randomly re-enable it without even notifying me. The reason this is bad is because the switchable graphics cause my laptopt to overheat. If this happens in windows it usually just enters hibernation mode while the heat levels are just barely critical, in linux however it keeps running for a while at critical levels before it'll finally just overeat. I'm hoping that the AMD proprietary drivers can help me solve this on the linux side.
Whichever operating system i can manage to make stop ever using the switchable graphics (thus preventing all overheating) will be the one i will use in the end, but i'm not in any big rush, windows is working decently for me on the laptop right now, and i can patiently wait for the amd proprietary drivers to support X again, since i don't interact much with the computer at all anyways. Using linux would mostly just be to make the laptop look better. Linux seems to be the more likely one to succeed with this task in the end however (because i can optimize/customize it a whole lot more than i ever could windows, and because i'm scared of updating the catalyst drivers in windows because my laptop has often just completely broken upon catalyst driver update in windows.)

Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

I am currently in the process of installing the latest AMD Video Drivers for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition. I previously had three ATI Radeon HD2600XT Graphics cards (in CrossFire) installed in a 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
I've run into several problems with trying to remove the Radeon HD2600XT graphics cards and install the latest drivers (for the Radeon R9 290 graphics card) in Windows 8.1 (64-bit), so I am creating this to be used as tutorial for others experiencing similar problems.
1) First I created a new/clean system restore point in Windows 8.1 prior to starting this.
      Instructions can be found here: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-restore-point-in-windows-8-1/
2) Second, I manually tried removing/uninstalling the AMD Software from add/remove programs in Windows 8.1 (Control Panel)
      In Computer Control Panel, select "uninstall a program"
      Select AMD Install Manager (and any Catalyst Software) and remove/uninstall the software (choose "express uninstall all AMD software").
      Be sure to uninstall the AMD Install Manager.
3) In my system, the hardware drivers for the three Radeon XT2600 graphics cards were not properly removed, and the drivers for the Radeon R9 290 were not properly installed.
4) I tried running the AMD Driver Autodetect Tool
      It stated "We were unable to find your product or OS" (and failed to download or install any drivers)
      AMD Driver Autodetect displayed the following information:
Graphics hardware: 0x1002 - 0x9588 PCIE
Operating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit
5) Since the latest software/drivers were not found with the AMD Driver Autodetect, I decided to manually download the latest Graphics card drivers from the AMD website for my graphics card and for my operating system (Windows 8.1 64-bit). I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD" and downloaded the latest AMD Graphics card drivers (Catalyst Software Suite 14.9) to that folder and unzipped the AMD drivers installation file. I unzipped the file which included the following drivers/files:
      Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 includes the following files:
            AMD Display Driver ver. 14.301.1001
                          OpenCL(tm) Driver
                          Catalyst Control Center
                          HydraVision
6) I downloaded and unzipped DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
    I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and unzipped the DDU installation files to that folder
7) I ran DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
      It displayed the following information:
DDU Version:13.5.1.3
GPU # 0000 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0001 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0002 Detected : AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_67b1
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 13.251.9001.1001
INF : oem63.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_Hawaii
5) Based on the output above, it seems that some extremely old drivers are currently installed (v13.251.9001.1001), and I need to remove the old drivers for the hardware above, and try to install the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
6) I rebooted the computer into Windows 8.1 "Safe Mode".
    Instructions can be found here: http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81
7) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and ran DDU v13.5.1.3 and selected "Clean and restart" (in DDU 13.5.1.3) to remove ALL of the existing AMD drivers and to restart/reboot the computer.
- After removing the current display drivers (in safe mode) with DDU v13.5.1.3 and after the system rebooted, I then tried to perform a "clean install" of the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
8) Now perform a "Clean Install" of the new AMD graphics drivers. Steps for performing a "clean install" (from AMD's website) are listed below:
To perform a 'clean install' of AMD graphics drivers:
You should make a system restore point before attempting, just in case
1. IMPORTANT: All Windows Updates should be current, including the 'optional/suggested' updates
2. IMPORTANT: Disable all anti-virus/ad blockers/anti-malware/ anti-anything before trying to install
3. IMPORTANT: Netframework is required and must be the latest version. (from Windows Update)
Download the drivers for your computer to the desktop. Follow steps 1-5 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ).
Do not use 'auto-detect and install (it might not detect your graphics card or best drivers).
Delete existing drivers from your computer:
In computer control panel select 'uninstall a program'
For computers with Intel processors:
Select AMD install manager and choose 'express uninstall all AMD software'
Including the install manager.
For computers with AMD processors:
Select AMD install manager and 'custom uninstall' the graphics drivers and CCC only.
Reboot into 'safe mode'
In safe mode run Guru 3D's DDU
Reboot
Install the new driver suite.
9) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-14-9-win7-win8.1-64Bit-dd-ccc-whql" and ran setup.exe (Catalyst Install Manager)
     I selected "Express Install" as the default installation (highly recommended).
10) Rebooted the system after the Catalyst software and video driver installation.

In the end, I found out that the latest/newest Radeon drivers do not support the older Apple Radeon 2600XT graphics cards, so I was forced to remove the older Radeon 2600XT graphics cards from the system (so the newest/latest Radeon Catalyst Drivers would work). I was then able to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and the AMD Catalyst software and AMD Catalyst Drivers worked perfectly with the R9 290 graphics card (in Windows 8.1 Pro).
The only problem is that the AMD R9 290 is not supported in OS X, and now I can't boot directly into OS X because the Apple OS X graphics card drivers are missing and don't exist. Apple hasn't added AMD R9 290 graphics card support to the latest version of Apple OS X 10.10 Yosemite (or 10.9).
I posted a thread here about needing the AMD R9 290 graphics display drivers, but Apple still hasn't added the latest AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card drivers support to the latest Apple Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite operating system.
Another big Apple fail!
So now we have a wonderful new high-end AMD R9 290 graphics card and all we can do is use our Apple Mac Pro computers as Windows 8.1 Pro computers, because Apple has not updated their Apple OS X operating system to support the newest/latest AMD R9 290 graphics cards. (So we're stuck with using our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows 8.1 Pro computer) because Apple refuses to add the newest/latest hardware drivers to their latest Apple OS X operating system. Anytime you purchase an Apple computer you are stuck using really old hardware because Apple fails to update their operating system with the newest/latest hardware drivers for the latest AMD R9 290 graphics card hardware.
The only way to use the latest/newest hardware is with a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro computer. Hopefully Apple will get this fixed immediately, but it's already been close to a year now and Apple still hasn't fixed the problem.
We tried to contact Sapphire, and AMD, but both of them have said that it's a problem with Apple's Mac OS X operating system, and that only Apple can fix the problem and add the proper hardware drivers to their operating system.

G50-45 Can't Install AMD Graphic Drivers

Hello,
I just bought this laptop and I downloaded the updated drivers from Lenovo site, but I can't install AMD graphic drivers.
The screen went black during installation and stayed black for almost 40 minutes (then I rebooted the laptop).
So I tried to download AMD drivers through their Autodetect software, and during the installation the screen showed weird colors, mostly green but in a "old fashioned 8 bit way" we can say.
What should I do?
Also, I can't use the dedicated graphic card (Radeon HD 8500M): the laptop keep using the integrated card, which makes every game running slowly. I already tried to set which card an application must use through Catalyst Control Panel, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the replies.

I used one from lenovo page and they work.

Can I install AMD Graphics Drivers In Windows 32-Bit Operating System...

Please Help Me And Advised me ..
How TO install Amd Graphis Drivers In 32-Bitt Windows 8 System???

Hi:
See if this works. If it doesn't then you will need to install the supported operating system (W8.1 64 bit).
Download and run the W8.1 graphics driver from your model's support page...Close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-135683-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category. Click on the Standard VGA Adapter. Click on the Driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software method and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp67327. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way. Then reboot.

Hi @Ahmed-Aslam
I understand that you are have problems with hibernate and sleep on your notebook.
I would review the attached document. I realize from your post that you have tried some of the things listed, but just check it and see if anything there was missed, perhaps the section on malware issues.
Troubleshooting sleep and hibernate issues in Windows 8
You can also try using system restore to roll back to before the software update to see if that resolves the issue.

Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
Method 1:
First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
Press the Windows key + X
Select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
Method 3:
If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

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'

Gnome crash after installing amd catalyst

Installed arch on my Acer Iconia tab w500 with Gnome as the DE.
Performance using the open-source driver was bad, so i tried the amd driver, following these steps:

Well, not quite. Yes, gdm had issues with catalyst since 3.12. That can be worked arround by using a different Login Manager - e.g. kdm, lightdm and whatnot. Or Downgrading gdm and libgdm to 3.10. The symptoms are a black screen at start, since gdm crashes. You can still start a gnome-session via startx.
This issue is seperate. Here, gnome session crashes, even when started via startx. I've got the same issue, but no solution yet.

I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
*32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
*64-bit uninstaller: download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe

Nvidia Drivers are they safe ?

I read in The Enquirer that there are serious problems with Nvidia drivers

Should I hold off from buying one until it is fixed ?

You should ask in the Mac Pro forum since that article does not really relate to the OS but to an issue between hardware and drivers.
Just try to avoid the conspiracy theories put forth in that article and the post it references.

With the release of the October x-fi drivers, does this mean that drivers for our soundblaster audigy cards will be released as well?

I can't see why they won't.

Alum iMac and ATI Catalyst Drivers 7.9

Has anyone been able to install the latest video drivers from ATI? If so exactly how did you do it because the ATI installer says there is no compatible video chip available.
thanks in advance,

Hi Dan,
the downloadable AMD Catalyst Drivers are only for the Desktop versions of their graphics cards, not for the Mobility ones.
Try out the Mobility Modder: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/
with the Catalyst package you have.
Good Luck
