some header paths changed in 3.7, and the installer has to be patched for that change. At least that's one change, who knows what else ati/amd failed to do in their driver, personally I no longer spend time tracking their failures in sgfxi, but I will update it to note no support for 3.7, I suspected that would be the case.
This has NOTHING to do with liquorix, file the issue report on amd/ati forums, where you will probably find a patch as well. In the old days I used to track amd/ati closely, but their consistent pattern of failure and poor code made me finally drop any attempt at bleeding edge support. You already have the fix however, run 3.6, then wait for amd/ati to release a driver that supports 3.7. What you should not ever do is expect support for bleeding edge kernels, sometimes that exists by chance, if say, 3.6 changed nothing of substance from 3.5 or 3.4, amd will continue to work, but that's just a pure coincidence. To run catalyst amd/ati, don't run bleeding edge software, this has been known for almost half a decade, or more, now, the sooner you learn that the happier you will be. I don't follow their inner numbers, have you tried the latest beta of 12-11 yet? I know it's 2013, but that's their most recent driver. 12-10 I think is their most recent stable driver. Back to top |

Patch
Hi Chris,
I wonder if you were able to apply the 3.7 patch to amd/radeon driver. I just wish to upgrade to the latest kernel, however the amd/radeon driver bug is holding me to do that. Cheers Erick Back to top |

I am facing problems to recompile the driver after applied the patch.
Anyone have any clue? I tried to recompiling using Debian/sid, Debian/testing.. and all these variants gave me a error about "Debian rule is missing".. Back to top |

don't waste your time with creating the deb package, just do the direct install, those package building scripts have been consistently broken since who knows when.
If I motivate I'll add the fglrx patches to sgfxi. big if. Back to top |

Hi, if you could help in any way, because I really would like to use the latest kernel, however, without loose the ati driver.
Appreciate any clue, because in fact, seems impossible to compile those deb files and install without mess gdm3 and other stuffs. Cheers Back to top |

you don't need to compile the deb files, as I said just run the installer directly, I gave up on fglrx distro deb file generation years ago, the build scripts are almost always broken.
The most reliable way is to download the run package, extract it, patch it, then run it directly, forget all about the debs, you don't need those and they don't do anything you need anyway. Back to top |

Thanks for your reply.
I already run the installer itself, however, it doesn't installed successfully, I mean, Gnome 3 got disable and acceleration got messed. I read in a few forums that this is due to the kernel 3.7 and 3.8 that doesn't works with ati legacy driver and to get it working it's necessary to use a patch that would make the trick. Is there anyway to patch the run file, extracting it, patching and then repacking it as run file again? Back to top |

ah, you need to show: inxi -bxx
before anything else. If you run a legacy amd/ati card, then you are of course out of luck and should not be trying to run new kernels or new xorgs. Legacy in amd's sense simply means the reasonably new card series they decided to cut support for because amd just is not doing very well as a company in terms of making money, which is why they laid off a big chunk of their linux group recently. There's no patch to make a legacy fglrx driver work on xorg 1.13 or 3.7 kernel as far as I know. But I won't spend any more time on this until you show your system specs with inxi. Next time buy nvidia, you'll be much happier, just remember that. Unless you want to use the free xorg driver, then you're fine. If it works for you. Now, pretending for the moment you have a post ati/amd hd4xxxx series card, the procedure has never changed: download run package, now a zip package extract zip to run run the extract command on the run package patch the extracted run the ati installer script that is contained in the extracted package. sgfxi does all this of course, but I don't have the fglrx patches for 3.7 yet, really why bother, 3.8 is just about to be released, it's a rat race, heh. I took a quick look at the patches linked to here, and they looked somewhat typically messy, ideally a patch file is one and only one file, with the patches actually tested and working, and clean. Sometimes I have to use 2, but that's generally not required if they were made correctly in the first place. Back to top |
