Installing Manually on Crunchbang Statler (32/64bit)
This method uses the latest Catalyst driver downloaded from AMD/ATI’s site.
This was tested on a virgin install with no other previous attempts at installing Ati drivers. If you have an already edited system, with other drivers installed, remove them “completely” first.
Do everything below as root, in the /root directory
Install the prerequisite packages:
apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 module-assistant
Make sure you are ready to go with Module Assistant:
m-a prepare
Download the latest Catalyst package:
This package contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit driver (if you are on a 64bit machine, install ia32-libs)
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-10-x86.x86_64.run
Launch the Ati installer and go through the motions:
./ati*run
Now reboot, don’t try glxgears or the catalyst control center, in fact don’t touch anything, just reboot.
