AMD Catalyst 11.8 issues with 3870k and Nexuiz

Post by danielfnj96 »

Ok so the issue im having is with my new 3870k's onboard graphics (Radeon 6550d), i had to install the drivers while using an old nvidia dedicated card and the only one that would work and install that i found was Catalyst 11.8. But now that its up and running none of my open gl screen savers work and when i try to start nexuiz it doesn't start. In an effort to diagnose the issue i tried running it from a terminal and i get this:

Does anyone know how i could fix this problem without switching to a dedicated card or other APU? If you have any feedback i'd be grateful to hear it.
