Solved: ATI Radeon Catalyst

paxmark1 · 2012-05-09 05:10:04

aptitude safe-upgrade tonight (May 08, 2012) gave Catalyst 12.4-1 to Testing. No problems on eeebox with Radeon HD 6250 chip on board sharing the memory. 32 bit

Several days ago Catalyst 12-4 from source was quite problematic. peace, mark

Wait what? This is relevant to my interests.

I'm curious. Is there a catalyst driver? I just installed waldorf and looking for a FGLRX driver but there isnt any in the repo's (i have debian non-free enabled)

Could you tell me what package it is you're describing and where it comes from?

Are you on testing (or sid)? If the resources below is not enough, post uname -a and your cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Lot of smxi fans around especially for installing nvidia and ati non-free. 12-4 on smxi did not work for me.

sudo aptitude install via steos at cchtml site in early May gave me 12-3 which upgraded on its on to 12-4.1 I would guess that smxi would work now.
