first we need to extract the .run installer where we consider necessary.

Code:

root@The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali):~# ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract ./src
Creating directory ./src
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver-9.012...............................
root@The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali):~# cd ./src

then you should go where the file fglrx-3.7.patch was saved, and patch the file firegl_public.c located in the extracted .run file, in our case in the folder:

Code:

/root/src/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/

then

Code:

root@The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali):~# cd ..
root@The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali):~# patch -Np1 --verbose < fglrx-3.7.patch
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

If you read with attention I writed "I installed and rebooted to use graphics and work faster" because of that I installed the graphics.

Also the driver for 32 and 64 bits is the same download from the AMD page, then the installer detects if the system is 32 or 64 bits. If your see with attention in http://support.amd.com/US/GPUDOWNLOAD/Pages/index.aspx in the link "Linux (32-bit & 64-bit)" you will only see one link to download.

Then the problem is cause all the steps work only for The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) LINUX, for other distros may not work
