This worked great, except I had to add radeon to the blacklist before I ran the atixxxx.run file otherwise the radeon mod could not be unloaded due to it being in use.

So I started with step 5, then rebooted, then did the rest.

Strangely I also had to skip step 7 otherwise I loose my cursor when I start gnome-shell.

Hope that helps! Thanks for the guide! First distro I’ve had my ATI graphics card working on! yay!

Hi,

I just followed the steps here to set up the driver.

I am now having an issue with the annoying “AMD Unsupported hardware”
watermark in the lower right-hand corner of my screen.

I’ve googled several solutions to no avail.

Please Help!!

yeah, it seems so
ATI website says u should use the supplied drivers from other companies, and most likely they supplied u with Windows drivers only.
I think u have to buy a new laptop anyways

Looks like my FEL13 and Mobility Radeon X300 are not compatible, since ATI dropped the non-free drvier support for my card.

Anyone know how far back I need to go to get support for the 9.4 version Catalyst installer?

I’m using FEL 13 on a Thinkpad T43 with an ATI Mobility chip. I used the latest Kernel and the latest drivers from ATI, and I get this error at step 4:
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules failed. [Error] Kernel Module : Reboot required. [Reboot] Kernel Module : dracut
Now when I reboot GLX gives errors.
