CENTOS6.5 Rookie Tour: Install ATI graphics driver

First, preface

Since the installation of CentOS, my graphics card has not been quiet, has been in the high temperature and noise is particularly large, so decided to search the Internet solution. The following is recorded for future reference.

Second, install Fglrx driver (Linux driver for ATI/AMD graphics card)

Perform the following command installation separately

1.

RPM--import http://elrepo.org/rpm-gpg-key-elrepo.org 

2.

RPM-UVH http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-6.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpmyum-y Install Yum-plugin-fastestmirror 

3.

Yum-y Install Kmod-fglrx

4. Rebooting the system

Now, the whole world is not quiet a lot of it!

Third, relevant knowledge

Linux drivers for ATI/AMD graphics are divided into Radeon (open source) and Fglrx (official). Generally recommended HD5000 series before the use of Radeon, later is the use of Fglrx. And the Fglrx driver can perform operations such as overclocking, frequency, and temperature monitoring of the GPU via commands.

The following commands are available after installing Fglrx

/* View GPU Current frequency and Utilization */#> aticonfig--odgc  

Description

1. Current CLOCKS:GPU frequency, will be automatically reduced in 2D state

2. The default frequency of the current PEAK:GPU is automatically restored to that frequency in 3D, and Overclocking is a super-default frequency!

3. Configuable Peak Range: The frequency can be set to the range, overclocking can not be greater than the range, the frequency reduction can not be less than the range. But because my is HD5730, is said to be HD5700 's overclocking edition, so the default frequency has already been to the top.

4. GPU Load:gpu Load, 2D state is generally 0%

/* View GPU Temperature */#>aticonfig--odgt  

/* overclocking */#>aticonfig--odsc=    

/* Reset Frequency */#>aticonfig--odrd  

Note: The system automatically resets the GPU frequency after reboot, so it can be automatically overclocked by the shell scripting system when it starts.
