I'm using Linux Manjaro 0.8.13 on my laptop and want to install proprietary drivers.
Here is what I have:
efog# lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Thames [Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series] (rev ff)
At first, I've tried to install drivers using "Manjaro Settings Manager" and "Hardware detection". Right-clicked on "video-catalyst", then "Install", rebooted and got black screen without X.
Then I've tried to install it manually. At first I downgraded my xorg-server to version 1.15. Here is all of what I did then:
yaourt catalyst-test #conflict with mhwd
yaourt catalyst-total-pxp #conflict with mhwd
sudo mhwd -i pci video-catalyst #ok, but black screen
Then I removed
mhwd
with -Rdd
option and tried to install catalyst again.
I got this:
Building fglrx module for 3.18.15-1-MANJARO kernel ...
Failed!!! Check out log: /var/log/catalyst-install.log

You can use the tool 'aticonfig' to generate an xorg.conf file.
--------------------- ^^^^^^^^^ --------------------------------
fglrx was added into /etc/modules-load.d/catalyst.conf
----------------------------------------------------------------
atieventsd (needs acpid pkg) on systemd:
systemctl enable atieventsd
systemctl start atieventsd

ATTENTION!

To enable 'automatic re-compilation while system shutdown/reboot'
testing feature run these commands as root:
systemctl enable catalyst-hook
systemctl start catalyst-hook

---------------- I/O BUG ---------------------------------------
There's a bug in fglrx found by lano1106 which generates
great amount of unneeded I/O operations
To activate workaround enable systemd service:
systemctl enable temp-links-catalyst
systemctl start temp-links-catalyst

Help me please, what should I do? I'm totally new to Arch Linux, was using Ubuntu before.
I have only 1 assumption:
efog# uname -a
Linux efog-pc 3.18.14-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 25 01:26:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And in the .log
file I see version 3.18.15-1
.
But I really don't know what to do.
