I installed the ati driver and it's working, I did it in the terminal not from the prompt, when it finished I entered aticonfig --initial and exited the terminal, then rebooted.PenguinPupLin wrote:I attempted to install the latest ati catalyst driver, namely amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run for my Radeon HD5450 graphics card, with the devx_racy_5.2.2.sfs and the kernel_src-3.0.7-patched.sfs (both checked for md5sum integrity) loaded in bootmanager config bootup. Installation completed successfully, then run aticonfig --initial, and reboot.
But it failed to boot straight into puppy, so had to run xorgwizard, "choose" fglrx, selected the resolution, yet it fell back to using the radeon driver instead. Also the AMD Catalyst Control Center wasn't found,no menu item created. Report-video showed radeon not fglrx driver used.
I've also removed the Xorg-High-GLX driver that was installed from quickpet>drivers and reverted to vesa before running the AMD-driver-installer again, but to no avail. Have repeated the process a number of times, the same result each time.
Wonder what went wrong; am quite familiar with installing ATI or NVidia drivers for my various puppies. Hope someone can point it out to me.
