Introduction
x11-drivers/ati-drivers (often referred to as "fglrx", the name of its kernel module) is the proprietary, accelerated driver for AMD (ATI) graphics cards.
Preparing to Install
Configuring the kernel
[*] Enable loadable module support Processor type and features ---> [*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support Bus options (PCI etc.) ---> [*] PCI Express Port Bus Support [*] Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X) Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> < > Direct Rendering Manager (xFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) --->
If you need support for AGP cards, enable the following kernel options:
Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support) ---> Select an appropriate AGP driver: <*> AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support
Editing make.conf
Add the following to your /etc/make.conf
:
root # nano /etc/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx"
Editing package.use
Then, add the following to /etc/portage/package.use
:
root # nano /etc/portage/package.use x11-drivers/ati-drivers qt4
Adding the qt4
USE flag enables support for building of amdcccle (AMD Catalyst Control Center: Linux Edition).
Installing
Emerging the package
To emerge the drivers, run the following command:
root # emerge -av --changed-use --deep @world
Configuring
Next, set ati-drivers to manage the system's OpenGL implementation:
root # eselect opengl set ati
Afterwards, run aticonfig to modify the X-server configuration file to work with the ati-drivers:
root # aticonfig --initial
Troubleshooting
I am using a HDMI connection, and my monitor's display has a black border around it.
Disable overscan using the following command, as root:
root # aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
You may need to restart your X session.
GNOME 3 windows only refresh when I drag them.
This is a known issue, reported in Funtoo Bug 1130. This issue has been fixed by addressing a bug in cogl -- upgrade to cogl-1.12.2-r2 to fix it.
