Catalyst v13.1
#1
Hi,

I know I probably shouldn't be asking for help installing Catalyst 13.1 on the HC forums, but here goes;


When installing 'amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run'

it installs fine.

Then when I 'startx';

The only way I can get hashcat to work is to

Code:
sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run --uninstall=force

sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle

And it's not at 13.1, so I get the "You need -exactly- Catalyst v13.1 for very good reasons
"

Of course, I could use --force, but what happens when a crucial update happens?


Is there any 'step by step' guide for upgrading?

Thanks

try:
1. amdconfig --uninstall (as root)
2. reboot
3. install 13.1 again on default, I mean:
Code:
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run
and do not generate deb package, just let it to install by itself.
4. after install do:
Code:
sudo amdconfig --adapter=all --initial -f
5. reboot
6. try

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

After doing that, I still get this while running 'startx';

Code:
