Hi all, how can I install amdcccle, commonly known as the ATI Catalyst control panel correctly? I can't seem to get it to install from AMD's site. The one on AMD's website results in a machine that can no longer boot. I have a dual monitor setup, however, the "Generic" drivers stink, they don't configure dual monitors properly.

I eagerly await your solutions. Thanks!

Regards,
Marshall, Toorox lover :)

Did you establish an internet connection before starting the driver script? You will find the control panel in: K-Menu -> Applications -> System.

Are you talking about the actual Catalyst driver program from ATI, or KDE's display configuration? It seems to me from past experience that no non-Catalyst control panel GUI's configure my dual monitors perfectly like the Catalyst interface does...?

Joern OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 420 Thank you received: 5	Please execute as root in a terminal: qlist ati-drivers \| grep /opt/bin/ This should be the output: /opt/bin/fglrxinfo /opt/bin/aticonfig /opt/bin/amdcccle /opt/bin/atiodcli /opt/bin/atiode if the driver package is installed. If you get another result start a manual installation in a terminal as root: emerge ati-drivers Then you can see whats going wrong.

Even doing su and then doing sudo didn't work, but I edited the Sudoers file with visudo. I now have 2 monitor output, but the mouse cursor is invisible on the second monitor! The 1st monitor I see the mouse cursor. What should I do? Thanks in advance. Regards
