    Hi Maxtorete,

    Would you mind recompiling the latest packages for us please?

    Thank you.

    Where and how do you get the source file of this driver? At the AMD website I am getting a binary file (zipped), (here it is http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...inux+x86&#8242)

    Please help.

    Unhappy Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    Unfortunately the proprietory driver doesn't work for Gnome (I haven't checked for KDE etc. but supposedly it works for KDE), not the stable veriosn (it doesn't install, gives errors while installing) nor the beta version (it doesn't boot properly).

    I have installed KDE also in my laptop, but once I install the driver then it doesn't display the login page at all...so I am unable to choose either KDR or Gnome, when I uninstall the driver (from the xterms) then after rebooting the login page appears again (using the open Gallium driver).

    I bought a new laptop and loaded Fedora 20, without ever imagining that the Catalyst driver would have been orphaned. I was using Fedora 18 in my older laptop.

    My problem is that the open driver doesn't let me connect the laptop to an external monitor or projector, being a teacher it makes life very difficult, but I have spent days in installing all my softwares etc. so it will be a herculean effort to reinstall any other flavour of linux all over again...

    But if I am unable to get a driver working, then perhaps in a couple of weeks I have to move over to Debian or OpenSuse...

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    hmm ... if you mean the AMD installer (current 14.3 version), it works for me in Fedora 20 in KDE quite fine. Not sure what your card is but I assume a model supported by catalyst?

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    My card is AMD Radeon HD7660G. And the 14.3 version supports the HD7000G Series. Hence, it should.

    The funny part is, in one computer I installed the KDE version and the Catalysts driver after installation worked, but when I added Gnome also to it the computer refused to reboot (the login screen refused to come), and after removing the catalyst driver again the computer rebooted properly... so the 14.3 version has some serious conflict with Gnome, I guess it is the Wayland that is causing the problem...

    The thing is that it is known that recent AMD version has issues with Gnome. However, I think you can fix it by using the Display Manager Switcher to set it to KDM instead of GDM. After that 14.3 should be working

    Well, using KDM I am able to use the KDE. So I have a working laptop in order!

    But I will wait for Gnome to and Catalyst to get compatible...

    OR Xinerama (NOT compatible with eachother?)

    Get a command line with {^ +ALT + F2 || F5}. after you install and login as root, as the blackscreen is an xauth failure. I think this has something to do with /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc but I am not sure.

    I edited /etc/default/grub with 'video.use_native_backlight=1' INSTEAD OF 'achi_backlight=vendor' in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='',
    then ran sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
    I read that HERE

    I have GNOME and KDE installed, with switchdesk set to KDE. I myself need some help with the xauth permissions issue, to login as $USER. All help gratefully accepted. More later.

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    Do we have any bug reports for the released version of 14.4?
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...p?os=Linux+x86

    Is it safe to install?

    I have to mention that I still use the January beta, because the March beta caused random X crashes for me.

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    Hello everyone! I set Fedora 20 to PC with AMD Video card. All works well by default after setting, but as seems to me, It becomes work worse than I used to be with proprietary driver before with Debian OS. The quality of image's colors and speed of moving objects became worse as seems to me.
    I'm thinking about setting proprietary drvier from AMD, but I worry about problems after upgrading kernel in the future. Do I use free driver or non-free, what do you think about it?

    If anyone wants to test these 14.4 srpm's (you will need to build) I would be willing to push to rpmfusion F19 (and maybe F20 if the gnome issue is corrected).
    The kmod srpm is already patched for the 3.14 kernel.

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    What does it mean? I have a very strange settings for AMD driver:

    $ inxi -G
    Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750 / R7 250E]
    Display Server: Fedora X.org 1.14.4 driver: fglrx
    Resolution: 1600x900@60.0hz
    GLX Renderer: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
    GLX Version: 1.4 (2.1 (4.4.12874 - CPC 14.10.1006))
    [stan@localhost ~]$

    $ fglrxinfo
    libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
    display: :0.0 screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
    OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 (4.4.12874 Compatibility Profile Context 14.10.1006))

    xorg.conf:

    Section "Device"

    Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/amdxmm.so
    но я восстановил Mesa:
    yum -y reinstall mesa-libGL

    $ glxinfo | grep render
    libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
    direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
    GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series

    $ glxspheres
    Polygons in scene: 62464
    libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
    Visual ID of window: 0x29
    Context is Indirect
    OpenGL Renderer: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
    1787.123021 frames/sec - 1881.411632 Mpixels/sec
    1620.079123 frames/sec - 1705.554497 Mpixels/sec

    As I understand it right AMD proprietary driver works with mesa-GL library instead its GL Library.

    Re: Fedora 20 AMD catalyst driver

    I have a Fedora 19 install and would be willing to test. I might not be able to get to it right away. I have an HD6570 card.
    I tried rpm -ivf to install, but I don't know where the files are. What command do I need to do to extract the source or where does the souce go?
    I still have 3.13.9.
