Minimum System Requirements
Before attempting to install the AMD Catalyst proprietary driver, the following software
must be installed:
- XOrg 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 or 7.6
- Linux kernel 2.6 or above
- glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
- POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D applications
Note: If a Linux 2.6.11 or newer kernel was built with
CONFIG_AGP enabled, the kernel AGP frontend is required to load
the fglrx kernel module. To identify whether your kernel was built
with CONFIG_AGP enabled, look for CONFIG_AGP=y in the
kernel config file, or if the 'agpgart' module is loaded.
System Recommendations
For optimal performance and ease of use, the following are available:
- Kernel module build environment
- 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
The following packages must be installed in order for the AMD Catalyst driver for Linux
to install and work optimally:
- XFree86-Mesa-libGL
- libstdc++
- libgcc
- XFree86-libs
- fontconfig
- freetype
- zlib
- gcc
