AMD Catalyst 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86/x64 Display Driver

To successfully install the AMD Catalyst proprietary driver, you should uninstall any third party graphics driver such as NVIDIA proprietary graphics driver for Linux currently on your system.

Note: AMD recommends that you create a central location for your AMD Catalyst proprietary driver downloads.

AMD recommends you uninstall the AMD Catalyst proprietary driver for Linux before installing a newer version.

Compatible Operating Systems The latest version of the AMD Catalyst proprietary driver is designed to support the following Linux distributions:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite
  • Novell/SuSE product suite
  • Ubuntu
Note: The AMD Catalyst driver for Linux may install on a number of other Linux distributions. Refer to the Package Generation installation instructions for more information.

Note: AMD contributed packaging scripts to help the creation of other packages, but does not test or verify these. Currently Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite and Novell/SuSE product suite support Linux distributions. Please contact Red Hat and Novell/SuSE directly with questions regarding their available support.

Note: AMD Events Daemon is not installed in /etc/init.d if using the Automatic Driver Installation Option. To install the Events Daemon for Red Hat and SuSE, use the Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package option to create packages for LGD installation. If there are no available packages for your distribution that install scripts for the daemon, refer to their respective user documentation on inserting and use of services/daemons. Examples scripts can be located in the default directory of "/usr/share/doc/ati/examples" after Automatic Driver Installation Option installation.
