Software :: ATI Catalyst - Get MSI Afterburner To Work?
Feb 19, 2010
I'm dabbling with Ubuntu, until I get my Gentoo setup going, but my issue applies to linux in general. I have just installed the Linux CCC 10.2 on Ubuntu, and I am noticing they still have not provided any method for controlling the fan speed of the video card (I'm running a XFX Radeon HD 4890). I have installed MSI Afterburner with wine; it successfully installed it, but it will not launch the actual utility. how to get MSI Afterburner to work, a Windows program that has fan control capabilities and runs well under Linux, or of any other way to rectify this issue? I have read a couple of posts on using lm-sensor to try and control my fan speed issue, but I have not figured this out either.

I have downloaded the drives for ATI Radeon X1300 Pro and they will not install. The Catylasy also does not work saying that ATI drivers are not installed. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Maybe saying Ubuntu is getting worse is unfair. I'm not a big user I have to say. I use it more out of curiosity than anything else. I first used 8 and it was brilliant. I told all my mates about it. Everything work great. I had all desktop effects. I could use a KDE session. Then I upgraded to 9 and lost KDE ability but still had all desktop effects available. Upgraded to 10 a few weeks ago and now no desktop effects. Non of the above is a problem but I feel like, for me, it's going backwards.
I use an old AMD 2600 machine with a Radeon 9600. I used to be able to use ATI Catalyst but that didn't work after the upgrade to 10 and I can't seem to find a solution. Ubuntu is still brilliant but I don't like things being taken away from me.

Looking at the AMD/ATI download pages, I can't tell if catalyst control center (which installs the drivers) is fully functional for Ubuntu 10.10.
Has anyone had success with this software?
I have integrated ATI Radeon 3200 HD graphics on my motherboard and can't get things working.

So I was stupid and careless enough to buy system with ATI Radeon HD6850.I have Maverick installed (64 bit) and everything was fine yesterday, I did usual update and today I get text prompt.I tried everything I already learned and upgraded to Catalyst 11.2 too (built packages from downloader installer), but with no luck.I see that aticonfig is now recognizing my card, which is promissing, but I'm unable to get the system to work with fglrx anyway.
I've purged the fglrx and friends, removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and now I'm running on vesa with lower resolution.But I'm quite pissed off for loosing my morning on fixing (or failing to fix) yet another problem with ATI.
Code:
$ uname -r
2.6.35-27-generic
$ less /var/log/apt/history.log[code]..............

Is it possible for plymouth to work with the ATI Catalyst driver installed in Fedora 15 x86_64?
Is it that plymouth requires KMS and Catalyst doesn't provide it? With the nvidia driver, I could put a vga= line in grub and plymouth would run. Is there something similar for catalyst?

I've been having issues with 3D using the ATI catalyst driver since I started using Slackware (since version 12.2). I've had a few different graphics problems and through trial and error I've discovered they all start with install the proprietary ATI driver. I installed the Gnome Slackbuild to try it out, and managed to get 3D (ie. compiz) working flawlessly there, but for some reason I cannot get KDE visual effects to do anything while using this driver (although they work fine with the open source radeonhd driver). Any thoughts as to why KDE and the ATI driver are being un-cooperative with each other?
Secondly, I created a initrd and changed to use the generic kernel instead of the huge kernel. It doesn't appear the the ATI driver loads properly with the generic kernel as the 3D doesn't work at all and the output of fglrx gives lots of weird error messages about how the driver hasn't loaded properly (or at all)? So where would I go to make sure the fglrx module is loaded by the kernel?

I'm using ATI Radeon 4850 graphic card but cannot bring out its full configuration (one of them, I try to enable s-video out) without installing its native Catalyst driver, which is ver 10.4. Is this version compatible with Slackware 13.0 64?

I've downloaded and tried to install the newest ATI driver, but I get this error when I try to build packages:
Code:
./packages/Slackware/ati-packager.sh: line 56: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `]'
./packages/Slackware/ati-packager.sh: line 406: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I extracted the package and am pretty sure I found the source of the error (a missing ]) but I'm unsure of how to repackage the installer after correcting it. I did a google search and at least one other person has had this error: [URL]...

I've recently installed a Radeon HD 5770 graphics card, but it currently doesn't have support from any open source drivers (including MESA's experimental DRI drivers). The only other option would be ATI's Catalyst drivers, but 9.12 doesn't support Xorg 7.5 at the moment (the drivers disable Xorg; leaving a terminal only setup).
The question I've got is that is it possible to downgrade Xorg to 7.4 as a temp workaround and if so, how easy would it be to revert back to 7.5 afterwards.

I had catalyst 10.6 drivers and then i uninstalled it (by running fglrx-uninstall.sh). After that, I installed 10.8 version downloaded form [URL], but when I open catalyst control center it still says I have 10.6 installed.

I've been trying to install the ATI Catalyst_11.1 proprietary driver for the past two days unsuccessfully.I've been using the instructions in this pdf from AMD's website, but it really hasn't done me any good. Despite the fact that the installation wizard says the install completed, nothing changes once I reboot.I read somewhere that it was possible to install it via the "Hardware Drivers" utility. Is that true? If so, how can I go about doing that.At the moment I've got the "ATI fire gl" driver activated, but playing videos in fullscreen is painfully slow and I'm hoping AMD's proprietary driver can help.btw, My system can run pretty much any video (HD or not) in fullscreen under Windows 7. I want the same to be true under Ubuntu.System Specs:
Model: Acer Aspire T160
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Socket 939)
Mobo: FC51GM (Foxconn WinFast 6100K8MA-RS)

SOLVED: Changed the underscan settings in the Catalyst Control Center. I just installed the ATI catalyst driver 10.7, now there is a black border about 1" on all 4 sides that does not want to go away. Below is my xorg.conf
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

I have an ATI Radeon 5850 card with 2 17" monitors, plus a 46" TV via HDMI (disabled, except for BD plaback under windows) under Debian 6.0/Squeeze. When I first installed this system, it worked fine with all 3 screens (only 2 enabled at a time). Sometime in the past few weeks though, it's decided to revert to a single-display setup. I can't find any errors in the logfiles, and it works perfectly fine when I re-enabled the secondary display via the ATI Catalyst Control center.
The auto-generated xorg.conf isn't configured to use the second display (even after re-generating one using "aticonfig -initial=dual-head"), and it is not being modified when I change settings in the Catalyst Control Center.Updating display settings after every boot is just a bit annoying.

After seeing disappointing FPS in games with the open source AMD driver, I decided to install the proprietary one using the instructions on the Debian wiki. As I have a Mobility Radeon HD 3670, I needed to install the legacy driver. Everything installed fine, and I was able to configure my GPU by putting
Code: Select allSection "Device"
Identifier "My GPU"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf. I then restarted the computer, so that the open source driver could be blacklisted. In addition to the base driver installation, I installed the legacy Catalyst Control Center and the 32-bit fglrx OpenGL library. The problem is that, whenever I run fgl_glxgears, the rendering window is just a black screen. KDE renders just fine, and I am currently typing this using Iceweasel. I have tried using aticonfig to disable fast TLS, but the problem still occurs. The packages that I have installed are:
firmware-linux-nonfree
fglrx-legacy-control amd64
fglrx-legacy-atieventsd amd64
fglrx-legacy-driver amd64
fglrx-legacy-modules-dkms amd64
libfglrx-legacy amd64 and i386
libfglrx-legacy-amdxvba1 amd64
and libgl1-fglrx-legacy-glx amd64 and i386
. Also, when I type fglrxinfo, the renderer string is my GPU and not a software renderer.

when RPMfusion will have the ATI catalyst driver for Fdedora 14 in its repo? If it is going to take a log time then I might just install it from ATI's site, but I'd rather not go through all the trouble if I don't have to.

How am I suppose to install catalyst if they don't have the packages ready yet ? I am not so installing RHEL6 packages in Laughlin cause of kernel conflict. Or is it that Catalyst still not compatible with Kernel 2.6.35.x ?

AFAICT, F14 does not have any formal support right now (no rpms, etc), and there are some pitfalls to using the ATI installer which I am sure have resulted in system re-installs, unhappy faces, and people stuck without a proper driver. This is because while the installer seems easy to use, it's unfriendly in so far as it does not check for pre-requisite software first, and when it craps outs, it doesn't tell you anything is wrong, but it will leave your system without a functioning X server. The first time I ran it, the GUI installer told me everything was complete and that all I needed to do was reboot! When I did, X would not work, and reinstalling the original xorg-ati driver, etc, did not fix it.....

I just wanted to let everyone know that the latest 11.6 Catalyst driver has been released.I would like everyone to know that I have successfully installed the ATI drivers in gnome, but lost the usability of gnome-shell and automatically dropped back to the basic Gnome desktop. But I still have a usable system.

I installed the ATI Catalyst drivers for my laptop and I guess they are working since World of Warcraft and other graphic dependent programs are working, but the problem is my boot up screen is really ugly now. Instead of the Fedora drop filling up I get a bar at the bottom of the screen that fills up. This happens only after installing the Catalyst drivers how do I change it back to the drop? This is the only issue I'm having.
Fedora 15 x64 is my operating system.

To start from the beginning, I realised that I have no audio, so I tried a couple of fixes that I found online. Upon rebooting, all my graphics were very choppy (moving windows, scrolling etc). The sound is working though. I dont understand how fixing sound can mess with the graphics but hey it isnt working and thats what matters.I have an installer for the ATI drivers downloaded from ati.amd.com. when I had a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 and installed these drivers everything worked 100% without any problems. Running the installer now doesnt seem to work. The log in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log reports:
Code:
Errors during DKMS module removal

I just bought a 32" Panasonic LCD (1080p) and have decided to use that as my main monitor. Unfortunately, when I hooked it up to my computer, I had under-scan with both Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu Karmic x64 (using a Radeon HD 4870 1GB). In Windows, there was a simple slider in the Catalyst Control Center to fix the under-scan issue. Unfortunately, the same option wasn't available with the Linux counterpart. I searched online for some answers, but all the ones I found seemed outdated, or gave me errors.Using the Aticonfig help command, I figured out how to fix the under-scan in Linux.

I dual boot on separate HHDs. I have just done a fresh install with updates. I installed the restricted driver from the repositories, and I get an error message from ati catalyst (administration). Also I have "unsupported hardware" at the bottom of the screen.
Graphics card is a XFX ATI HD 5770 on this system, and I just sold 2 8800 GT's yesterday, and bought two more XFX HD 5770's for CF in my other system.
I didn't do a bad thing, 'cause I was really groovin' on Ubuntu, that I just installed at the beginning of the week.

I just got an HP dv7t Select Edition. I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu. On Windows, I'm able to do a lot to customize graphics settings and switch from a mobility 5650 and the integrated Intel graphics to save battery life. how do I correctly install the proprietary ATI drivers for Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit? I tried installing using the "restricted driver" pop up after first installing, but that caused my screen to go blank after rebooting.
Furthermore, is there a way to switch graphics what graphics card I'm using? When I'm at home I like being able to use the dedicated card, but when I'm away and need to save power, I would like to be able to switch to the integrated card. I don't mind having some sort of option of selecting what card to use in the BIOS or something, although being able to switch on the fly would be nice. Finally, if I make any changes, how do I undo them without having to reinstall?
