[sovled] Cant get catalyst drivers to compile...need older xorg
My house mates and I are trying to set up a media center. The one in charge of buying the hardware (foolishly) went for ATI. Without the catalyst drivers we cannot get hdmi to work properly. What sucks is that the catalyst drivers will not compile with the latest xorg. Does anyone have copies of an older version or know how we can easily get it? We need xorg111. I love arch, and really don't want to switch this box to another distro just so we can get the hardware working.

HP all in one ms237 cant get wireless drivers to work
Hi i have a HP all in one PC, ive had this PC for a very long time, we upgraded to windows 8 and i dont remember how but i did manage to get wireless drivers on it at one point. the PC's hard drive went out and so i bought a new one and re-installed windows 8 (64 bit) onto it and now i cant get wireless drivers to get installed on it. I tried running the drivers with windows 7 compatability but no dice. I also tried different versions of the driver and still no luck, device manager will see the wireless card but says its not working properly (driver issue) the weird thing is that when i uninstall the drivers for it i can see the adapter in adpater settings, however when i install newer drivers and it goes back to being non existent lol. Any ideas?
Hello @rapid3642,
I understand that you are having issues getting your wireless to work on your HP Pavilion All-in-One MS237 Desktop PC running Windows 8. As you probably have already figured out there are no Windows 8 drivers for your computer. I can see why you would have issues installing Windows 7 drivers on a Windows 8 computer. What you probably did initially was upgrade your Windows 7 to Windows 8 with the driver already installed. Unlike a new Windows 8 installation where you need to install the drivers an upgrade will already have drivers installed and the operating system is simply replacing what is needed without having to go through the installation process.
I would recommend that you either install your original Windows 7 and then upgrade to Windows 8 or you may want to look at replacing the 802.11 b/g/n PCI express wireless half-length mini card with one that is compatible with Windows 8.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

The divers work in Parallels because Parallels is creating drivers for virtual hardware. Parallels is not using your computer's hardware it is creating virtual hardware. There still are no Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers. Bootcamp uses your computer's actual hardware. -
[SOLVED]Cant get video drivers sorted out on openbox install
I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver with a ATI radeon 7850 and would like to avoid using the catalyst driver unless it's my last resort. I'm doing an install with lightdm and openbox. I followed that wiki which basically says to install the driver and it should autodetect my resolution with no problems. Well I've been stuck at 1024x768 for a day now.
I went through the xorg log file and was unable to figure out what exactly is wrong myself, but here it is: http://pastebin.com/E46sv47N
As far as I can tell the correct drivers loaded but the resolution was set wrong. although if I plug in an hdmi cable in place of the DVI nothing happens and I get a black screen.
I'm trying to get a 1920x1080 resolution but the closest I've gotten is what looks like 1920x1080 squished over to the right side of the screen with a large black bar to the left side. I "accomplished" that by executing the following:
[archer@arch ~]$ cvt 1920 1080
# 1920x1080 59.96 Hz (CVT 2.07M9) hsync: 67.16 kHz; pclk: 173.00 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
[archer@arch ~]$ xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
[archer@arch ~]$ xrandr --addmode DVI-1 1920x1080_60.00
[archer@arch ~]$ xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1080_60.00
Anyone have an Idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Hp pavilion g6 1b60us, cant get the WIFI, Ethernet, ex, drivers to install
I have a hp pavilion g6 1b60us
And I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit) with a fresh install of Windows 7 ultimate (64 Bit)
removing the recovery partitions too.
Now i cant get the drivers for the wifi and Ethernet to install...the ones i get from HP driver support install up to the point of right after the extraction,
it opens the installer and then a short glimpse of CMD box then the installer just poofs away.
I tried reinstalling windows and tried using other versions of the drivers, nothing worked all the same thing.
so there's no way for me to get online from that laptop and let it grab it's own drivers
i need help on getting the wifi or Ethernet to work
i herd there might be a chip-set that i might need that's got all the drivers in it? O.oYou're very welcome.
Sure you can do that, or copy them to a usb flash drive...
First you have to go to the AMD website and download the chipset driver. First file listed.
Install this driver first and reboot. This will install the SM Bus controller.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#2
Then you can install these driver in whatever order you wish.

Is there anyone i can call to talk to about this?Confirming and expanding on what RG said, not only is iTunes is not available for Android devices, it cannot sync to an Android device if you have iTunes running on a Windows or Mac system.

Aperture wont start when I booted up this morning . There is an upgrade that it needs to install and I am being directed to log onto a hotmail account that does not exist to install it . I cant get any sense out of hotmail and the account has been deleted because I have never used it .
I need to get into my files asap but I am just going around in circles - please help - anyone ?APERTURE was bought via the Apple On Line Store .
I kew there is an update cause when I clicked on updates , there was an update that I needed cause Aperture was not running as it should ie . it would not load
I am running Mavericks OS.
My Apple ID is the same as my email account but I have discovered that I have two Apple ID accounts and I could not remember my password on the one that I used to download the original Aperture - I have since contacted Apple and they have merged the two so Ihave sorted it out that way .
When Aperture would not start , it wasn't asking me to log onto my email account, it was asking me for my Apple ID which was the same thing but it was my emergency ID and I could not remember the password . Being enturely thick where computers are concerned , I got very confused and remain confused because having bought a new MACBOOK AIR , I find it wont recognise my back up hard drive or my AIRPORT so I am not having a great time with MAC products to be honest - cant get my business back up and running after nearly three weeks so Apple and MAC are not my favourite words !
Anyway, I did get it sorted finally by ringing Apple but thanks for replying anyway - it turned out that Aperture was the very least of my problems when my hard drive failed installing Mavericks - wasnt Mavericks fault, my drives have to work hard and it just died . -
