Radeon HD 6320 display driver for Debian Squeeze! How to install?
 

Hello friends!

I have a Asus k53u series notebook.

I Want to install the radeon hd 6320 driver in my Debian Squeeze OS.

Please help me to do it! How i do it?


Thanks

HELLO!!! YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT URGENT!!! NOR DOES IT REQUIRE CAPS!!!

Now, that the yelling is over, perhaps you could tell us why specifically you want to install that particular driver, what you have tried so far, and most importantly exactly what video device you have.

The video device can be found in the output of the following command. Please run it in a terminal and cut and paste the out into the forum.

Cheers,

Evo2.

you can download it from ati.amd.com, just select your hardware (there is a find a driver window top right). I could also install it myself, just read the wiki.

Hi people,

Sorry for the Caps and for my english. I m a "newbie" :)

I have Dedian Squeeze installed on my Asus k53u notebook, but i can't install the proprietary AMD driver.

My driver shipset is AMD Radeon HD 6320.

# lspci | grep -i vga
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9806


The free-driver seens to not work in this shipset yet. I don't no...


I go to this link: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Debian

I do:

$ cd ~/; mkdir catalyst12.3; cd catalyst12.3/
$ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/am...x86.x86_64.run
$ chmod +x amd-driver-installer-12-3-x86.x86_64.run
$ fakeroot sh amd-driver-installer-12-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg <package>

... but it don't install or created package!!

Its because Debian Squeeze particulary??


Thanks to all

Hi,

Hmm, it looks like "<package>" should be replaced with something. Can you post the output of the
commands?

Hi,

it is trying to write files to directories that should only be writeable by root. Are you doing this as root?

Evo2.

Hello Evo2,

Yes im doing it as root acount

Hi,

looking again at post #8, there are no errors reported. Are you sure that the installation failed.

Also note that in post #7 your appear to be running the command under fakeroot, not actually as root (unless that is what the "#" is indicating). If you really are using root you should not need fakeroot (and it may even cause problems).

Evo2.

Hi Evo2,

I did this,

Hi,

I'm at a dead end. Without any log files or more detailed error messages there is nothing much I can do.
Have you tried following the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo ?

Evo2.

Just use the squeeze-backports repository, it has the Catalyst 12.3 drivers.
