How to install ATI fglrx legacy with kernel 3.7x and 3.8x

[jay_e]

Hi there,

OK.
I'll probably start from scratch so I can get a cogent build log - that won't be too long
and have too many dead-ends.
It will take a while.
T H A N K S!

Thank you for the good guide. I used your patched file on kernel 3.2 and installed without any issues. However I am not experienced user and the only way I could test was to run Doom3 . Before installing the driver the game was lacking graphics in high resolution, and now its perfect.
Could anyone tell me how to better test the driver, or what lines to look for in Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf?

The one that seems most recommended is Phoronix (available in repos) or maybe try http://unigine.com/products/heaven/ which seems more in the variety of 3Dmark/FutureMark if you're from a Windows system.

I must be missing some packages or something. Another site indicates that Wheezy is impossible at stock--you need to deprecate a certain file. I'm thinking about putting a 5450 in for my 4670. The 4670 is a better card, though--it's not that fanless, 64-bit, short-lived BS that every HTPC hound craves--it really is no good despite what they believe. 5450 is a dumbed-down chip that AMD wants everyone to like. I'll try to find the site again. I should just give up on gnome3....

woah man where'd you guys post the patched files?! I can't seem to keep a stable connection with the server, and it'll dl for a couple of secs at 150kb and then pause and then continue! The torrent isn't active either... I would have patched them myself, but the patcher keeps asking me what file I want to patch, and as far as I can tell you haven't given clear enough instructions to that end... =/

Could you do the same to this driver too, please?

Anyone got this to work for 3.10? I get DKMS-errors when kompiling. (First I got an error that there was no headers but I solved that by symbolic link the version file which was missing in the jessie for some reason)

in your command,

~$ sudo ./ati-installer.sh 8.97.100.7 --install

what is 8.97.100.7 stands for?

patch -p0 < ./arch-fglrx-3.7.patch
patch -p0 < ./arch-fglrx-3.8.patch
patch -p0 < ./3.5-do_mmap.patch
patch -p0 < ./makefile_compat.patch
patch -p0 < ./arch-fglrx-authatieventsd.patch

when i followed the directions to apply the patch i was hit with "which file do you want to patch" and the files listed were not the name of the patch file. what am i missing? what do i do? i'm still new to all of this.

i am trying to install for 2 cards on 2 laptops: ati radeon 9600 and ati radeon hd4200

Please Please Please reseed or give the the patched driver back to the world. I don't get it to work. Thanks.

The torrent file is online but noone is seeding. Somebody please seed. I had to reinstall Debian three times in two days because of video river conflicts.
