Hi,
I have been trying to get the Catalyst 13.1 to work on Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS), 64-bit.
I have tried various ways of installing. Whenever the installation is successful and I reboot here is what happens.
It displays the Ubuntu logo and then suddenly the monitor goes blank and shows me the Symbols, "Hz" and "?" in a green box moving on the screen. After looking it up on Google, some suggest that it is related to out of frequency error and adjusting the Monitor Refresh rate might solve it.
However, this seems to happen only after I install the Catalyst 13.1 driver. I have not been able to install any other Catalyst Driver (older versions like 12.8) since they give an error with the linux kernel (post upgrade).
So, has anyone faced a similar issue while installing the Catalyst Driver and rebooting on Ubuntu?
Which linux kernel version works for you with Catalyst 13.1 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I currently have the linux kernel, 3.5.0-32-generic as my Linux Kernel (as a result of aptitude upgrade). The installation fails when I try the Catalyst 12.8 version. It does not give an error with 13.1 but after I reboot as I mentioned above, the display goes blank.
I have also tried editing the boot entry and use the "nomodeset" option while booting, but the error persists.
Please note that it all works good for me on Windows 7, 64 bit version on the same machine + Catalyst 12.8
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870
Help would be appreciated.
