System Requirements
Before attempting to install the ATI Catalyst Linux software suite, the following
software must be installed:
- XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5

The ATI Catalyst Linux software suite no longer provides precompiled Kernel
Modules; all installations require GCC compiler and kernel-headers or kernel-source in
order to enable 2D and 3D acceleration.
For best performance and ease of use, ATI recommends the following:
- Kernel module build environment
o Kernel source code include either the Kernel Source or Kernel Headers packages
- The RPM utility should be installed and configured correctly on your system, if you
intend to install via RPM packages

install and work properly:
- XFree86-Mesa-libGL
- libstdc++
- libgcc
- XFree86-libs
- fontconfig

Resolved Issues
The following section provides a brief description of resolved issues with the latest

- System no longer fails while launching fgl_glxgears window when Anti-Aliasing and
Desktop Effects are enabled
- [SUSE 11.1] Hardware playback now functions properly
- [OpenSuSE 11.3] Corruption no longer visible on Firefox while scrolling the window
by dragging the scrollbar
- [SUSE 11.2] With a DP display connected to the adapter, a hot-plugged DFP display
will now light up properly in clone mode
Known Issues
The following section provides a brief description of known issues associated with the
latest version of ATI Catalyst Linux software suite. These issues include:
- Killing X-server after resuming from hibernation may cause the system to stop
responding
- System may fail to display error message when improper position values are used in
"aticonfig --tv-geometry" resulting in invalid "TVHPosAdj" and "TVVPosAdj"
values in xorg.conf file
- Rotated screen may fail to properly restore after running full-screen OpenGL
application in dual-head mode; a switch VT will restore screen correctly
- Mouse cursor might be blocked from entering the taskbar area after applying specific
rotations
- Significant delay may be observed while rotating screen with XRandR
- Segmentation fault may occur when running "Quake 4" and "Enemy Territory:
Quake Wars" at 1280x1024 or resolutions higher than current desktop resolution
Note: On Novell's openSUSE, SLED and SLES operating systems
running “sax2” or “sax2 -r” on the console overwrites the X.Org
configuration file xorg.conf, reverting changes made by running
“aticonfig --initial”. As a result subsequent X session may start up
using the open source ATI Radeon on X-Vesa graphics drivers
instead of the proprietary ATI Linux Graphics Driver.
Solution: Do not use Sax2 when the proprietary Linux Graphics
Driver is installed. Instead configure all display parameters using the
ATI Catalyst Control Center--Linux Edition or the aticonfig
command line interface. |
