Install the ATI closed-source driver (aticatalyst) on Ubuntu)

After one night, I finally successfully installed ATI's closed-source driver (aticatalyst, which is well-known in Windows, but it has never been installed on Ubuntu ), the fan of the notebook finally calmed down.

After one night, I finally successfully installed ATI's closed-source driver (aticatalyst, which is well-known in Windows, but it has never been installed on Ubuntu ), the fan of the notebook finally calmed down.

I had a hard time, installed Ubuntu 11.10, and installed ATI's closed-source driver. but to be honest, 11.10 is really not the case. I. Gnome 3.0 is really unstable, II. system resource consumption is extremely high. After running for more than an hour, the fan did not stop, so I was annoyed when I listened. it was really an option to install it (ALT + F2 is still very creative, but not mature enough ).

For 10.10, everything is so simple and everything is so quiet.

Briefly introduce the driver installation process of ATI:

1. uninstall the original ATI driver.
 
1
Sudo sh/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
2
Sudo apt-get remove -- purge fglrx _ * fglrx-amdcccle * fglrx-dev *
2. install the dependency Library:
 
The following is the installation of Ubuntu 11.10
 
1
Sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc ++ 6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases linux-headers-generic
No dh-modaliases in Ubuntu 10.10:
 
1
Sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc ++ 6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 linux-headers-generic
3. download the aticatalyst. if you don't want to explain this, go to the AMD website.
 
4. create the. deb installation package. here is a tip. you must first know your current Ubuntu CodeName. Otherwise, the generated installation package will be incorrect. the specific operations are as follows:
 
1
Lsb_release-
The following result is displayed:
 
1
No LSB modules are available.
2
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
3
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
4
Release: 10.10
5
Codename: maverick
This CodeName is the most critical:
 
Run the following command based on your codename:
 
1
Sudo sh./amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run -- buildpkg Ubuntu/maverick
The following files are generated:

5. install the generated package:
 
1
Sudo dpkg-I fglrx *. deb
6. Generate the configuration file:
 
1
Sudo aticonfig -- initial-f
Prevent configuration from ineffective:
 
1
Sudo aticonfig -- input =/etc/X11/xorg. conf -- tls = 1
7. now, the basic installation is complete, restart, and run the following command to check whether the driver is successfully installed.
 
1
Fglrxinfo

Fgl_glxgears
