<div>Installing and using fglrx drivers on Arch Linux should be a piece of cake, as the distro provides pre-built packages in its official repos, accessible through the pacman package manager.<br />
<br />
The installation instructions I've taken straight from Arch's own wiki page, linked below in the External Resources section.<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Before you start===<br />
You'll need to install the necessary programs<br />
{{Box Terminal|<br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-evdev<br /><br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-mouse<br/><br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-keyboard<br/><br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> /etc/rc.d/hal start<br/><br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -Rd libgl<br />
}}<br />
<br/><br />
{{Box Terminal|<br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> yaourt -Sy catalyst catalyst-utils<br/><br />
<nowiki>#</nowiki> aticonfig --initial <br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
====Notes====<br />
<br />
* These packages contain '''only''' the kernel module, and depend on the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package. The <code>catalyst-utils</code> package is kernel-independent and provides the libraries and utilities for Xorg, including ATI's own <code>libGL.so</code>.<br />
* After installing the package, you'll need to either <code>source /etc/profile</code> or log out, then back in to set up the environment properly.<br />
* If you run both <code>kernel26</code> and <code>kernel26beyond</code> then install both catalyst module packages. They won't conflict with one another.<br />
<br />
=== Custom Kernels ===<br />
<br />
To install catalyst for a custom kernel, you'll need to build your own <code>catalyst-$kernel</code> package, containing the kernel module compiled specifically for your kernel.<br />
<br />
If you are at all uncomfortable or inexperienced making packages, read up Arch's [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS ABS] wiki page first so things go smoothly.<br />
<br />
==== Obtaining PKGBUILD ====<br />
Obtain the <code>PKGBUILD</code> and <code>catalyst.install</code> files from CVS or ABS. Either:<br />
<br />
* Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=10416 and click "View CVS Entries" to find them, or <br />
* Run <code>abs</code> as root and locate the files in <code>/var/abs/extra/modules/catalyst</code>.<br />
<br />
==== Editing the PKGBUILD and building ====<br />
Three changes need to be made here: <br />
<br />
'''First''', change<br />
pkgname=catalyst<br />
to<br />
pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME<br />
where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)<br />
<br />
'''Second''', remove <code>kernel26</code> from the dependencies list.<br />
<br />
'''Third''', change<br />
_kernver=2.6.15-ARCH<br />
to<br />
_kernver=`uname -r`<br />
(or directly insert the output of uname -r '''when running your custom kernel''' there)<br />
<br />
Finally, build and install the package. (<code>makepkg -i</code> or <code>makepkg</code> followed by <code>pacman -A pkgname.pkg.tar.gz</code>)<br />
<br />
==== Notes ====<br />
<br />
* No changes need to be made to the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package, which is completely kernel-independent. '''All''' you need to do is compile a kernel module.<br />
* To build and run the catalyst kernel module with 2.6.16 kernels, patches are needed! Check out the cvs entries for catalyst in testing for the required patch.<br />

<br />
====Notes====<br />
<br />
* These packages contain '''only''' the kernel module, and depend on the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package. The <code>catalyst-utils</code> package is kernel-independent and provides the libraries and utilities for Xorg, including ATI's own <code>libGL.so</code>.<br />
* After installing the package, you'll need to either <code>source /etc/profile</code> or log out, then back in to set up the environment properly.<br />
* If you run both <code>kernel26</code> and <code>kernel26beyond</code> then install both catalyst module packages. They won't conflict with one another.<br />
<br />
=== Custom Kernels ===<br />
<br />
To install catalyst for a custom kernel, you'll need to build your own <code>catalyst-$kernel</code> package, containing the kernel module compiled specifically for your kernel.<br />
<br />
If you are at all uncomfortable or inexperienced making packages, read up Arch's [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS ABS] wiki page first so things go smoothly.<br />
<br />
==== Obtaining PKGBUILD ====<br />
Obtain the <code>PKGBUILD</code> and <code>catalyst.install</code> files from CVS or ABS. Either:<br />
<br />
* Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=10416 and click "View CVS Entries" to find them, or <br />
* Run <code>abs</code> as root and locate the files in <code>/var/abs/extra/modules/catalyst</code>.<br />
<br />
==== Editing the PKGBUILD and building ====<br />
Three changes need to be made here: <br />
<br />
'''First''', change<br />
pkgname=catalyst<br />
to<br />
pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME<br />
where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)<br />
<br />
'''Second''', remove <code>kernel26</code> from the dependencies list.<br />
<br />
'''Third''', change<br />
_kernver=2.6.15-ARCH<br />
to<br />
_kernver=`uname -r`<br />
(or directly insert the output of uname -r '''when running your custom kernel''' there)<br />
<br />
Finally, build and install the package. (<code>makepkg -i</code> or <code>makepkg</code> followed by <code>pacman -A pkgname.pkg.tar.gz</code>)<br />
<br />
==== Notes ====<br />
<br />
* No changes need to be made to the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package, which is completely kernel-independent. '''All''' you need to do is compile a kernel module.<br />
* To build and run the catalyst kernel module with 2.6.16 kernels, patches are needed! Check out the cvs entries for catalyst in testing for the required patch.<br />

====Notes====<br />
<br />
* These packages contain '''only''' the kernel module, and depend on the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package. The <code>catalyst-utils</code> package is kernel-independent and provides the libraries and utilities for Xorg, including ATI's own <code>libGL.so</code>.<br />
* After installing the package, you'll need to either <code>source /etc/profile</code> or log out, then back in to set up the environment properly.<br />
* If you run both <code>kernel26</code> and <code>kernel26beyond</code> then install both catalyst module packages. They won't conflict with one another.<br />
<br />
=== Custom Kernels ===<br />
<br />
To install catalyst for a custom kernel, you'll need to build your own <code>catalyst-$kernel</code> package, containing the kernel module compiled specifically for your kernel.<br />
<br />
If you are at all uncomfortable or inexperienced making packages, read up Arch's [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS ABS] wiki page first so things go smoothly.<br />
<br />
==== Obtaining PKGBUILD ====<br />
Obtain the <code>PKGBUILD</code> and <code>catalyst.install</code> files from CVS or ABS. Either:<br />
<br />
* Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=10416 and click "View CVS Entries" to find them, or <br />
* Run <code>abs</code> as root and locate the files in <code>/var/abs/extra/modules/catalyst</code>.<br />
<br />
==== Editing the PKGBUILD and building ====<br />
Three changes need to be made here: <br />
<br />
'''First''', change<br />
pkgname=catalyst<br />
to<br />
pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME<br />
where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)<br />
<br />
'''Second''', remove <code>kernel26</code> from the dependencies list.<br />
<br />
'''Third''', change<br />
_kernver=2.6.15-ARCH<br />
to<br />
_kernver=`uname -r`<br />
(or directly insert the output of uname -r '''when running your custom kernel''' there)<br />
<br />
Finally, build and install the package. (<code>makepkg -i</code> or <code>makepkg</code> followed by <code>pacman -A pkgname.pkg.tar.gz</code>)<br />
<br />
==== Notes ====<br />
<br />
* No changes need to be made to the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package, which is completely kernel-independent. '''All''' you need to do is compile a kernel module.<br />
* To build and run the catalyst kernel module with 2.6.16 kernels, patches are needed! Check out the cvs entries for catalyst in testing for the required patch.<br />
