| − | | + | |
| − | Pre-built .rpm packages should be in the non-official RPMFusion repository and corresponding version matching 10.12 is now out there. I strongly recommend all of you use this method since it automatically configures the grub config file and configure DKMS settings.

| − | | + | |
| − | An alternate way is, to download the .run installer from www.amd.com, run it using root privileges, follow the instructions on the screen and reboot afterwards. However, you must manually add a 'nomodeset' parameter in the grub entry, or the computer will hang with a black screen after plymouth bootscreen due to a conflict against kernel modesetting and fglrx.

| − | If you installed the driver from www.amd.com and see no graphical display, do the following:

| − | | + | |
| − | - login in text mode as root
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - cd /etc/X11
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - open the file xorg.conf with a text editor (vi for example)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - In the section "Device", change the entry "fglrx" to "radeon"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - save the file and exit the text editor
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - reboot
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | At this point graphical display should work.
| + | |
| − | Now install the driver from the pre-built .rpm packages, not from www.amd.com.
