STEP 1 - Installing latest AMD catalyst drivers :
As I'm writing this the latest version is 12.4, please check this page to know if there is a new version :
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide (this also includes the guide to install them).
First we're going to download all the prerequisite packages :
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6
sudo apt-get install dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic xserver-xorg-core libgcc1
If you're using Ubuntu 64bits please run those two commands (32bits users don't have to) :
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
cd /usr ; sudo ln -svT lib /usr/lib64
We can now download the AMD catalyst 12.4 driver :
Code:
cd ~/; mkdir catalyst12.4; cd catalyst12.4/
wget
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run //Версия с сайта AMD ,более новая!
chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
And create Ubuntu packages of it :
Code:
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise
Now let's install them :
Code:
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
and configure the Xserver (xorg.conf file) for the first time :
Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
Now reboot your computer.
Test the switch to the discrete card :
Code:
sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu
Then reboot again your computer.
