Hi,
I've been having problems installing AMD proprietary drivers on fedora 19 since I first installed it on release, at first I tried installing them manually, they seemed to have installed correctly but on reboot all I got after a plymouth screen being displayed in a wrong resolution was a black screen, no gdm, no nothing, so I went to a terminal, ran aticonfig --uninstall, then rebooted and it was pretty much like before, except for plymouth which again was being displayed in a resolution different to mine.
I moved to Fedora from Ubuntu because of various concerns with that particular distribution, back in Ubuntu I just used the drivers from amd's site and they worked perfectly, I just had to uninstall and reinstall them on a kernel update.
Doing some research I found out about kmod-catalyst and how that could help me with my problem and also it could help me avoid all that uninstalling and reinstalling on kernel updates.
So I installed kmod-catalyst from rpm-fusion, rebooted, same thing again.
I tried following various tutorials I found on the internet, such as this one http://www.sohailriaz.com/how-to-ins...-in-fedora-18/ , with no different result other than screwing-up my kernel, so I had to reinstall my kernel several times.
Given all that, as it seems I'm running out of luck I come here and hope somebody can help me.
Some specs:
OS: Fedora 19 x86_64 kernel-3.10.4-300.fc19
CPU: AMD Phenom x3 8650
RAM: 4GB
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6770 1GB
Thanks in advance.
PD: Just in case, I need proprietary drivers because with Gallium everything runs like crap, I can't even watch youtube videos without dropping frames.
