[elrepo] Fw: kmod-fglrx

[gilesaj]

 I had a look at the ATI site and there is a specific driver download for the HD7790 PCI-E.  
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RadeonHD7790CatalystPerformanceDriver.aspx

So I removed the all kmod-fglrx drivers and shutdown and started the PC again.   I downloaded the driver and tried to install but it complained that there was something missing which in the log file said.


Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers.  /lib/modules/2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.


So I aborted the install and now I am back with the elrepo drivers.   I guess that this indicates that the HD 7790 is not included in the elrepo drivers ????

Cheers Giles

 Hi

I created a new Centos 6 x86_64 PC today and added a new ATI HD 7790 that was delivered today as well.  I installed the kmod-fglrx with the command    

yum --enablerepo=elrepo instal kmod-fglrx fglrx-x11-drv
yum --enablerepo=elrepo install fglrx-x11-drv-32bit
I shut down the PC and rstarted but the video card is not recognised. 


I tried to set the config file with this command 

[root at coopers ~]# aticonfig --initial
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected


[root at coopers ~]# fglrxinfo

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 9.0-devel)



On Centos 5 there was a package called "System-config-display" where you could select the drivers that you wanted to use but that is no longer there in Centos 6.

So I guess my question is how do I get Centos 6 to recognise the drivers ??


OR

Is the Video Card HD 7790 not supported by the latest fglrx ??

Any help would be appresiated. 

Sorry about the spelling no spell checker................

Cheers Giles
