70.180.168.7: /* Installation */

== General Status ==
* Included with Distribution
* Native Installer Support contributed by Aric Cyr
* Repackaged by [http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian-official/fglrx-driver.html Flavio Stanchina] (currently out of date)

== Installation ==
* [[Debian_Installation_Guide|Installation Guide]] (recommended for x86_64 users)

Another installation Guide:

* [http://m.domaindlx.com/LinuxHelp/ati/ati.htm 3D Acceleration for your ATI card] (works for SUSE, Mandriva and Debian x86. X86_64 users should not use).

*How to install AMD Catalyst package on 69xx series for x86_64 systems (Tested on Mint Debian 201012):

1. Download latest Catalyst release (currently 10.12)
$ cd Desktop; mkdir Catalyst; cd Catalyst/
$ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run

2. Now install the x86 packages required for Catalyst:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

3. Before continuing you need to remove the standard Radeon drivers:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-radeon

4. Now navigate to the Catalyst folder on your desktop. Right click on the *.run file and click properties. Click the permissions tab and enable 'Allow executing file as program.' and click close. Now double click the *.run file. Choose to install the driver and customize any optional components you wish.

5. Now you need to find your GPU controller name which you will use to generate a basic xorg.conf file. For example, my XFX 6970 shows up as 'ATI Technologies Inc Device 6718.'
$ lspci -v | grep VGA

6. Open a terminal and enter:
$ sudo gedit

7. In gedit enter (replacing the identifier shown with whatever was produced in the previous step):
$ Section "Device"
$ Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Device 6718"
$ Driver "fglrx"
$ EndSection

Save the file as xorg.conf to etc/X11/ and restart the system.

8. You will have an 'AMD Unsupported Hardware' watermark in the lower right hand side of your screen when using cat 10.12. To remove this, create a text file on your desktop and enter:

$ #!/bin/sh
$ DRIVER=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
$ for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
$ sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
$ done

Save this file as watermark.

9. Open a terminal and enter:
$ cd Desktop
$ chmod 755 watermark
$ sudo ./watermark

Log out and log back in. The watermark should be gone and you're done.

== Tips and Tricks ==
* To build your own .deb packages you will need to install at least the following packages from the apt repositories:
** fakeroot
** debhelper
** build-essential
** make
** module-assistant
