Then first complete uninstall the old driver version (you should have it sitting on your box. I ssh'ed into my linux box cause you have to stop lightdm, after stop no more access direct
sudo all commands
I have all catalyst version in one directory
Code:ssh <into your box>
stop lightdm
cd path/to/old/catalystXX.XX/
sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-XX.XX-linux-x86.x86_64.run --uninstall=force
rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
reboot -f
installed 13.12 then. ssh or direct via terminal
Code:cd path/to/new/catalyst13.12/
sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-XX.XX-linux-x86.x86_64.run
amdconfig --adapter=all --initial -f
reboot -f
