Operating Systems Distributions Supported
The latest version of the ATI Catalyst Linux software suite is designed to support
the following Linux distributions:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite
- Novell/SuSE product suite
- Ubuntu
System Requirements
Before attempting to install the ATI Catalyst Linux software suite, the following
software must be installed:
- XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
- Linux Kernel 2.6 and above
- glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
- POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D applications
The ATI Catalyst Linux software suite no longer provides precompiled Kernel
Modules; all installations require GCC compiler and kernel-headers or kernel-
source in order to enable 2D and 3D acceleration.
For best performance and ease of use, AMD recommends the following:
- Kernel module build environment
- Kernel source code include either the Kernel Source or Kernel Headers
packages
- The RPM utility should be installed and configured correctly on your system,
if you intend to install via RPM packages
- The following packages must be installed in order for the ATI Catalyst
Linux driver to install and work properly:
- XFree86-Mesa-libGL
- libstdc++
- libgcc
- XFree86-libs
- fontconfig
Note: The ATI Catalyst Linux software suite may install on a number
of other Linux distributions. Refer to the Package Generation installation
instructions for more information.
Note: AMD has contributed packaging scripts to allows creation of
other packages, but does not necessarily test, verify or warrant the reliability.
Currently Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite and Novell/SuSE product
suite are supported Linux distributions.
Resolved Issues
The following section provide a brief description of resolved issues with the latest
version of the ATI Catalyst Linux software suite. These include:
- Resolved visible corruption when starting MythTV frontend in full screen
- Catalyst Control Center, disabling primary display and re-launching CCC
caused a Floating Point Exception
- Google Earth failed to start
- With some ATI adapters the display port monitor was not detected after being
hotplugged
- Able to reboot or shutdown when ATI Catalyst Control Center is opened
- Catalyst Control Center, displayed the wrong version using the Information/
Driver Version
- No audio output was available through HDMI
- Connecting both a CRT and DFP display device no longer results in the CRT
failing to display an image if the DFP is disconnected and then reconnected to
the system
- Corruption is no longer seen on secondary display after enabling secondary
display Big Desktop
- Sections of the task bar no longer turn black when using the application
'Blender'
- Enemy Territory Quake Wars v1.4, system no longer becomes intermittently
unresponsive when game is run.
- Some Open GL application no longer cause segmentation fault with Crossfire
and dual head enabled
- Maya crash fixed when using the following settings subinvisions Axis and
subinvisions Height are set to 2000
- Tearing no longer occurs during picture-in-picture playback of
H.264,VC-1,MPEG2 files on SUSE
- Playing AVI files with Mplayer in full screen no longer causes Mplayer to
stop responding
- Resolved, Video does not resize or may appear filled with pink/black when
changing from a low to high resolution
Known Issues
The following section provides a brief description of known issues associated
with the latest version of ATI Catalyst Linux software suite. These issues
include:
- White screens may occur on the extended displays of a with a quad display
configuration with 'Xinerama=on'
- Quake4 cannot start after using the load default option
- With both a DFP and CRT connected using the swap monitor option may
cause the following error “KDE Panel - The KDE Crash Handler”
- X may fail to start when the driver has been configured with the following
command: aticonfig --force-monitor=nocrt1
- RedHat 4.7 hot plugging a display may cause X to shutdown
- Some display corruption may be observed while returning from XServer with
two display connected
- Catalyst Control Center, primary display manager may be missing on systems
with dual head enabled
- Some systems may fail to restore after returning from hibernation
- Catalyst Control Center, the primary display is not identified when using the
Identify Displays button
- X-Server may become unresponsive when hot plugging the display after
changing the resolution
- Dual head mode, the mouse cursor cannot move to the secondary displays
- The mouse cursor may fail to render when hot plugging a display in clone
mode
- Catalyst Control Center, on some systems X may fails to start when the resolution
is set to less than 1680x1050 through displays manager
- With some system configurations Catalyst Control Center may take up to 30
seconds to start
- SUSE 11, No CrossFire confirmation is displayed when running Open GL
applications
- Running Specviewperf 9.0.3 in CrossFire mode may causes a segmentation
fault and failures in log file.
- When X is killed, the desktop background for the display:0.1 remains
- Screensaver corruption may be observed with 'xinerama on' in multi-head
configuration.
On Novell's openSUSE, SLED and SLES operating systems running
“sax2” or “sax2 -r” on the console overwrites the X.Org configuration
file xorg.conf, reverting changes made by running “aticonfig --initial”.
As a result subsequent X session may start up using the open source
Radeon on X-Vesa graphics drivers instead of the proprietary ATI
Linux Graphics Driver.
Solution: Do not use Sax2 when the proprietary Linux Graphics Driver
is installed. Instead configure all display parameters using the Catalyst
Control Center--Linux Edition or the aticonfig command line interface.
- On some CrossFire systems resizing Glxgreas may cause some screen corruption
- Corruption may occur in Maya with a multview configuration using three displays
- Flickering may occur with some screensaver and Flash movies when using
either Normal or Extra Visual Effects.
- X-Server may stop responding or shutdown when loading some Open GL
applications on a secondary display
- On some systems with RedHat 4.7 and Radeon X1800 the system may fail to
start after installing the display driver
- SUSE 10.3 32bit: The operating system may fail to respond when pressing
“Ctrl+alt+F7/F8” to switch session when “fgl_glxgears” is running
- Image rendering is not visible and only able to see the blank application window
when moving the application a secondary display
- Red Hat 5.2 32bit, KDM X windows may restart when user selects to “Start
New Session” during user switch
