---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Download
amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
- Extract it and you will get
amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run
./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract catalyst
cd catalyst
- Apply the patch manualy:
at the end of the file
catalyst/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/kcl_acpi.c
, starting with line 990, there is#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,6,3)
if (!ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_get_table_with_size(id, 0, &hdr, &tbl_size)))
#else
tbl_size = 0x7fffffff;
if (!ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_get_table(id, 0, &hdr)))
...
delete everything to the end of the file and replace with this
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,6,3)
if (!ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_get_table_with_size(id, 0, &hdr, &tbl_size)))
#else
tbl_size = 0x7fffffff;
if (!ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_get_table(id, 0, &hdr)))
#endif
{
return KCL_ACPI_ERROR;
}
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3,9,1)
((acpi_tbl_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#else
((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
#endif
return KCL_ACPI_OK;
}
