ended up downloading this one:
amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
Unzipped and ended up with this one:
amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
Then:
Code:
root@dead:/home/nothing/Downloads# sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
Created directory fglrx-install.QXdOq2
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver Installer/Packager
=====================================================================
Detected configuration:
Architecture: x86_64 (64-bit)
X Server: X.Org 6.9 or later 64-bit
At this point I am presented by a GUI popup window with 2 options:
1: Install Driver 8.97.100.7 on X.Org 6.9 or later 64-bit
2: Generate Distribution Specific Driver Package
Clicking install gives the errors:
Code:
/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:4: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-color-scheme', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
/home/nothing/.config/gtkrc:10: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-theme-name', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
loki_setup: directory: (null)
/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:4: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-color-scheme', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
/home/nothing/.config/gtkrc:10: error: unexpected identifier `gtk-theme-name', expected keyword - e.g. `style'
Also a GUI error pops up which states:
One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system. Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver. Optionally, run the installer with --force option to install without the tools. Forcing install will disable AMD hardware Acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended. See /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details.
So running '/usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log' states:
exactly the same thing which is most unhelpful.
Some digging around on the internet and on this forum actually brought me to this topic.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...eaders-935775/
upon typing the so-called solution lol. (something must have changed as this post is from 2012)
Code:
root@dead:/home/nothing# slackpkg install kernel-headers
Looking for kernel-headers in package list. Please wait... DONE
No packages match the pattern for install. Try:
/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade
root@dead:/home/nothing#
Is this to do with me not having the correct repository selected ? or something else.
slackpkgplus.conf is:
Code:
# # set to '1' to never show the download progress bar
# # set to '1' to show the bar only in download packages (default)
# # set to '2' to always show the download bar
# # set to '3' for a debug mode
VERBOSE=1
#
# # Enable (1) / Disable (0) the official slackpkg blacklist. May be useful to temporarily skip
# # the slackware blacklist. You can also override it from command line:
# # 'USEBL=0 slackpkg upgrade-all'
USEBL=1
#
# # Add custom option to 'wget'.
# # You can solve the repository indisponibility issue by set a timeout here
WGETOPTS="--timeout=5 --tries=1"
#
# # Enable (on) / Disable (off) notification events (see notifymsg.conf)
ENABLENOTIFY=off
#
# # Enable (on) / Disable (off) the greylist feature. See /etc/slackpkg/greylist
GREYLIST=on
#
# # Turn GPG Check ON/OFF ###
GPGCHECK=off
#
# # If two or more repositories contains some same packages, you can specify
# # from which repository you prefer to search it.
# # The syntax is "<repository_name>:<package_name>"
# # Accepts regular expressions. To give priority to an entire repository use "<repository_name>:.*"
#
# # Examples:
# #PKGS_PRIORITY=( restricted:vlc )
# #PKGS_PRIORITY=( myrepo:.* )
# #
#
# # List repositories you want to use (defined below)
# # remember to launch 'slackpkg update' if you modify that row.
