Hey users, i have uploaded fglrx 15.3 beta to our extra/experimental repo.
For all who have cappable amd hardware, please test that driver.

If you want, you should do

add


--- Code: ---deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra experimental main contrib non-free
--- End code ---

to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list


--- Code: ---after apt update
--- End code ---
do


--- Code: ---apt -t experimental install fglrx-driver libgl1-fglrx-glx fglrx-modules-dkms
--- End code ---

you need a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fglrx.conf with the following in:



--- Code: ---Section "Device"
   Identifier "My GPU"
   Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
--- End code ---


Also please give feedback about issues, you have maybe.

Hey towo,

I did a dist-upgrade and installed the driver this evening. No issues seen so far - runs smoothly.

Dkms failes to build it for my custom kernel, while 14.12 succeeded there. I'm currently trying to find out what I'm missing in this kernel.

Thank you for your work!

That seems not right for me.

Maybe I should update fglrx-atieventsd and fglrx-source... thanks!
