[opensuse] Resolved: How to get the ATI Catalyst Control Center working (Suse 10.3, driver 8.42).
I remember noticing that others had the same problem - that even after successfully installing the 8.42 drivers, the ATI control center won't launch. I found this quick howto after googling for some while, and thought I'd save you some time by sharing it: (snatched from http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6028) ------------------------- little HowTo for openSUSE 10.3 32-bit (based on Snake's HOWTO) 1. Download xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm <ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm> 2. Open a console window as user not as root Code: rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm 3. Now you can find file "xorg-x11-libX11.spec" at /usr/src/packages/SPECS edit these 2 lines: Code: %define xcb 0 # rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" 4. build the rpm packages Code: rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/xorg-x11-libX11.spec 5. After that, there are a new directory "/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/". From there you can copy the needed file. For example: Code: cp /usr/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/usr/lib/libX11.so* ~/ 6. Try amdcccle Code: LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle 7. If all runs fine , you can remove the temp directory. Code: rm -r /var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build ---------------------------- After I followed the above instructions, I opened the ATI CCC menu item in KDE's menu editor and set the launch command to "LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle".
