Catalyst 11.12 Driver released

[jusko]

Hangs on resume on both drivers...

...sounds like there are problems with ACPI. And those are usually fixed with BIOS updates.

Unfortunately, I gave up on my BIOS provider (http://www.phoenix.com/) and their 3rd party BIOS updater (http://biosagentplus.com) which are needlessly limiting their flashing tools to Windows platforms (that doesn't bode well for running Linux on top of their BIOS eh)... will try looking into it again though sometime.

Guys to all of you getting an older version at amdcccle of catalyst than the one you have just installed do this:

-Uninstall the driver once
-Type as root: rm -r /etc/ati
-Reboot
-Reinstall the driver via any method you 'd like auto or package

Just remember to open amdcccle and reapply your settings cause they will be reverted to the default ones!

I did not had /etc/ati at all.

But uninstalling. Turning off. Turning on with recovery mode. Installing from console. Did the job

Is Gnome3 usable???

Reinstalled again. Still 11.10. Purged and reinstalled. Still 11.10!

I'm installing fglrx 11.12 (fglrx_8.920-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) generated from installer.
Kubuntu 11.10.

Help! (I do not even know what to ask google )

In fact you have 11.12 but CCC fail to update information about version in configuration file. Next time you may want to do that:
amdconfig --del-pcs-key=LDC,ReleaseVersion
amdconfig --del-pcs-key=LDC,Catalyst_Version

Don't forget to report this issue to AMD:

Hello, I would like to ask if the Graphic Card AMD ATI RADEON HD6970M is supported in this driver, as I read 6800 i suppose no...
Actually I have debian Mint installed and with fglrx drivers I am able to use quite well the card (even termal control seems to work better now as the fan is not always at 100%)
but without any reason sometimes computer freeze...only the R-SIST buttons works...so I have to reboot all the times...

Thank you in advance, since I have this card I am not able to use linux properly

Nice joke but what exactly do you mean?

No, it is not.

No, it is not.

Yes I know. What does that have to do with AMD Catalyst?
