 Request: ATI Catalyst .PET for Quirky (!)
Subject description: Proprietary Linux driver for modern ATI cards / IGPs |
|
Has anyone managed to install this driver successfully in Quirky?
The installer always fails to compile the kernel module.
No go even with the latest version (Catalyst 10.7)
Can anyone make a working .PET package?

Quirky's kernel and Xorg version are now supported by the latest driver (no patch needed), but I still get an error message in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log after the installer has 'finished' compiling the kernel module:

Sorry guys, but I had enough of these problems... I'm dumping Linux (Quirky) and going back to bloated Windows 7 land where everything 'just works' 
Without the proprietary ATI driver, I can't even use Quirky Linux on 2 of my boxes (with modern ATI hardware). The open-source 'radeon' driver is horrible. It's like using Vesa: no Xv acceleration, no OpenGL, no 3D, crappy 2D performance in WINE, can't use high resolutions (beyond full HD) and even more limitations.
Why Quirky and not the 'official' Puppy? Because it's a pure T2-based Puppy (unlike Lucid Puppy) with a modern SMP (multicore) kernel and newer X.Org.

ATI Catalyst 10.7 for Quirky 1.2 |
|
I think the problem is that needs to be done previously 'make modules_prepare' (at /usr/src/linux) for prepare the kernel for building external modules.
I have compiled the latest version (10.7) in Quirky 1.2 and no problems.
