System Requirements
Before attempting to install the ATI Catalyst™ Linux software suite, the following software must be installed:
* XOrg 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3
* 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 - should include the following:
o Kernel source code: 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
* freetype
* zlib
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:
* The Xserver no longer crashes if the screen resolution is changed in horizontal or vertical desktop setup with a monitor that does not support DDC. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32223
* The Xserver no longer segfaults or fails to initialize DRI if a BusID was specified in an unexpected format in xorg.conf. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32224
* The Xserver no longer freezes on shutdown if atieventsd is running. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32225
* The first OpenGL application run after starting a session on Xserver version 1.4 no longer hangs. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32226
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:
* On workstation hardware 3D applications will be corrupted if the screen width is not an integer multiple of 64 pixels, for example with a 1680x1050 wide screen display. Further details can be found in topic number 737-31720
* There is no support for video playback on the second head in dual head mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-26985
* Desktop corruption may be noticed when dragging the overlay/video when using dual-display mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-29578
* A black screen may be observed on some hardware when switching to the console or leaving the X window system when a Vesa framebuffer console driver is used. Further details can be found in topic number 737-30687
* Display flicker may be noticed when the gnome screen-saver starts
* Diagonal tearing may be noticed when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video playback may look blocky when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video Playback may display wrong colors and additional shadow images when cropping or expanding a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Building RPM packages for Mandriva may fail
