1-
-- install ATI proprietary driver

Quote:

cd; mkdir tmp; cd tmp
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/at...x86.x86_64.run
sh ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run
follow installer; reboot
apt-get install cmake libroot-python-dev libboost1.40-all-dev
cd ~/tmp
wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/a...v2.5-lnx64.tgz
tar xvzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-lnx64.tgz
tar xvzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-RC2-lnx64.tgz
mv AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-RC2-lnx64/ /opt
cd /
tar xvxf ~/tmp/icd-registration.tgz
edit .bashrc
vi ~/.bashrc

add the following to the end of .bashrc

Quote:

export AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-RC2-lnx64/
export AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-RC2-lnx64/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}lib/x86_64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export ATISTREAMSDKROOT=$AMDAPPSDKROOT

save; quit

Quote:

cd ~/tmp
svn co https://calpp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/calpp calpp
cd calpp/trunk/
cmake .
make
make install

cd ~/tmp
svn checkout http://pyrit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pyrit_svn

Quote:

cd pyrit_svn/pyrit/
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

cd ~/tmp/pyrit_svn/cpyrit_calpp/

vi setup.py

i changed
VERSION = '0.4.0-dev'
to
VERSION = '0.4.1-dev'
( why i did that ? because: this is to match Pyrit version; otherwise will see version mismatch while running)

then i change
CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include'))
to
CALPP_INC_DIRS.append(os.path.join(CALPP_INC_DIR, 'include/CAL'))

2- made the second radeon shown:
A- Open up /root/.bashrc and add export DISPLAY=:0 in the end line, i must did that in /home/username/.bashrc , but there is no files there si so i did it from the root dir
here is the file after the edit:

Code:

# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.

export ATISTREAMSDKROOT=$AMDAPPSDKROOT

export DISPLAY=:0

B- sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f

c- Log off and login

d- now the problems started:
1- all files and folder not shown in the desktop, the right mouse not work in the desktop
2- all folders in places cant be open
3- after 2-3 reboot the desktop came blank and the background of the desktop came blank and all files and folder not shown in the desktop, the right mouse not work in the desktop and all folders in places cant be open.
4- i can open terminal and work normal , in the panel: application and system works
5- the only good thing that this is the result aticonfig --list-adapters
