Salix Forums

Hi,

I have problem with my graphics card "ATI RADEON HD6470M" on my NTB.

- I did download driver (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download)
- I converted to the tgz (generate for Slackware)
- I did install it.

After using of this proprietary driver, all is bad When I shut it down, the screen on the end is blank (dark gray) and waiting waiting waiting and nothing Only Ubuntu and Fedora are good But they are not Salix

Can you help me, please? Thank you.

That approach didn't work because the conversion to Slackware package is unreliable - basically you may be lucky, but it's unlikely, especially in a case like this requiring some configuration steps. You probably need to "blacklist" the modult to avoid it getting clobbered.

I believe there is a solution in this forum or even the wiki - it's a problem that comes up quite often, with variations.

Hi,

all works Problem? I did install driver via procedure:

1. download driver and decompress from package.
2. convert for Slackware
3. install driver
4. restart

Problem in conversion for Slackware.

I did install from RUN package.

...
3. sh amd.....run
4. restart
5. setup with ati control center
