Install and configure CentOS 6.4 AMD graphics card driver in Lenovo Y470

Install and configure CentOS 6.4 AMD graphics card driver in Lenovo Y470

I said goodbye to the familiar Windows 7 and switched to CentOS for Linux, with various questions left speechless. When I write it here, I decided to change the input method. Well, what should I do? study the good input methods in Linux and try again later. First, record the major problems currently solved.

Dad gave me his Y470. I'm very happy. Y470 is configured with a quad-core eight-thread processor of i7. It shows 8 CPUs in the linux system monitor. If you don't talk about it, go to the topic.

After CentOS 6.4 is installed on Y470, the fan turns crazy. I checked it online and found that the driver of the high-end video card in the Y470 video card was not properly installed, resulting in work problems. Use lspci | grep-I vga to get the exact name of the video card. My AMD video card is displayed as follows:

00:02. 0 VGAcompatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation CoreProcessor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

. 0 VGAcompatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Thames [Radeon HD 7670 M]

Then go to AMD's official website drive up and down, web site http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

If you select a model, the website will provide the driver download URL. Download the driver file. Decompress the package and the file name is amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run, and then follow the command below.

# Shamd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run-extract ati

# Cd ati

# Sh./packages/RedHat/ati-packager.sh-buildpkg RHEL6_64a

Then the driver file is generated in the directory where ati is located, fglrx64_p_ I _c-12.104-1.x86_64.rpm

# Cd ati

# Shati-installer.sh RHEL6_64a-install

Then the installation will be successful. After installation, the System-> preferences-> AMDCatalyst Control Center can be set to disable the video card.

After the video card is turned off, the fan sound becomes small. I thought this was the end of the incident. I didn't expect to start the system again. I couldn't use this ControlCenter anymore. When you use the amdcccle command, the prompt says:

Amdcccle: errorwhile loading shared libraries:/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1: file too short

The file mentioned is a soft link. After tracking this soft link, we found that the link to a file with a size of 0, so we knew how to do it.

The process of tracking and modification is as follows:

[Www.bkjia.com @ bkjia ~] $ Ls-l/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1

Lrwxrwxrwx. 1 rootroot 12 10:14/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1-> libGL. so.1.2

[Www.bkjia.com @ bkjia ~] $ Ls-l/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1.2

Lrwxrwxrwx. 1 rootroot 35 July 16 10:14/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1.2->/usr/lib64/FGL. renamed. libGL. so.1.2

[Www.bkjia.com @ bkjia ~] $ Sudo rm '/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1.2'

[Www.bkjia.com @ bkjia ~] $ Sudo ln-s '/usr/lib64/FGL. renamed. libGL. so.1.2.0'/usr/lib64/libGL. so.1.2'

Then the ControlCenter can continue to use it. It seems that this problem occurs every time a high-performance video card is disabled, and it can only be marked for future generations to solve it.

PS.

After a high-performance video card is disabled, run the lspci | grep-I vga command to check the result:

[Www.bkjia.com @ bkjia ~] $ Lspci | grep-I vga

00:02. 0 VGAcompatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation CoreProcessor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

. 0 VGAcompatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Thames [Radeon HD 7670 M] (rev ff)
