Stories similar to Black screen while booting, after installing AMD Catalyst™ 12.8 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver on HP pavilion dm4

Hi I really need help I can't determine if my graphics card is defect! I have just set up Fedora 12 on a month old Lenovo Thinkpad with Integrated Intel Graphics and a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470. I have NOT installed any third party drivers or any proprietary drivers. Its a totally clean system (single boot, formated discs).

The Problem:

my system doesn't shutdown properly. I have Ubuntu 12.10 64-Bit on HP pavilion dv7 with AMD Quadcore and Radeon. I think the reason has to do with the display driver. I installed the ATI Catalyst™ proprietary linux x86 and linux x86_64- driver VERSION 13.1 from 1/17/2013.

Hi there! The ati graphics-card i have installet in my laptop is HD 5470. I have installed the drivers both from the repositories AND from System Settings -> Additional Drivers -> ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. I can locate the Catalyst Control Center, but i cannot open it.

I am using 64-bit 12.04LTS. I have manually tried to install AMD Radeon HD 7470M proprietary drivers from AMD official site. But, after installing, when I tried to launch Catalyst Control Center, a message is shown like this: "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition.

Finished installing Ubuntu 10.10 in my XPS15, intel i5 4g ram, nvidia GT 420M graphics card,

problem is when i go to additional drivers, the driver listed (Nvidia accelerated graphics) when I install it and reboot it the computer starts on the terminal, no graphic interface.

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version on my HP Pavilion G6 2006AX laptop. This is the only operating system that I have on my laptop (no dual boot).

Hi guys!

I have a Dell Studio 1535 notebook, which has a Mobility Radeon HD3450 graphics card in it. The problem is, that immediately after I install the ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics driver, the screen brightness will be set up automatically to 100% after each reboot.

I installed fedora 17 and everything was working well until trying to install the catalyst drivers installed them using this guide: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503

Now I boot into a black screen. I did boot into text mode and run at configuration - initial. No errors were reported. I rebooted and still had a black screen.

My card is the hd 6950.

ATI Catalyst drivers slowness 1 year 16 weeks ago

I have managed to install the drivers, but after installing those drivers moving different windows such as browser is very laggy.

Why is that? I also tried older drivers, but they all have the same problem. I have ATI Radeon HD5850.

I installed this driver: AMD Catalyst™ 11.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver.
