- Code: Select all
Pentium Dual Core E6600 @3.6 GHz
ATI HD 5570 1 GB
4 GB RAM
500 GB WD Hard drive
Linux Mint 14 64 Bit
1. I downloaded the latest drivers from ATI(Catalyst 12.10)64 Bit one...

3. Opened terminal,loged in as root and cd to the downloads directory
4.

chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
5.
- Code: Select all
sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
6. The ATI installer starts,I select the default instalation and it finishes without an error
7. Went back to the terminal and typed:
- Code: Select all
sudo aticonfig --initial -f
Then i get this:
- Code: Select all
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saving back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fglrx-6
9. Rebooted

11. Opened terminal and typed
- Code: Select all
fglrxinfo
and got this:
- Code: Select all
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 12
Current serial number in output stream: 12
12.
Opened the Catalyst Control Center and got this error:
- Code: Select all
There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig.
How can I install the drivers properly or how to get back the old default drivers?
