How To Install Amd Drivers Kali Linux

Thank you for your response to my question in the previous post. I realize the installation of Kali Driver 1.0.5 x64 like you said, adding the repo of Jessie and install the driver without a problem. And since you released this new tuto to Kali 1.0.6 i want to update me and this guide worked great on my ASUS 1215B with AMD Radeon HD 6310. Thanks again my friend!;) Indeed, as a question but, I'm trying to pimp my terminal cowsay and Fortune, it installs fine. But when run in terminal I get 'command not found' will not find the command or do not install it right? Or is the distro? Thanks for your help!

Tutorial to Install AMD ATI Driver in Kali Linux. This guides you on how to patch kernel to make fglrx, fglrx-amdcccle or AMD Catalyst Control Centre work.

@compu tronica no problem mate. Thanks for letting me know that it worked. I could use some more confirmation from other readers how this guide is working for them I wasn't very comfortable using Jessie repo as you can understand from that Disclaimer I've written. If someone forgets to remove Jessie repo, bad things will happen and I will get the hard end of the stick from Kali Linux Dev team. But if you remove Jessie repo everything would be fine. On your second query, cowsay and fortunes, you could try what LMDE users did (as LMDE is Debian similar to Kali) Hope that helps.

How did you manually config fglrx drivers? Your card isn’t supported using the ati commands under “My problem is the configuration of enabling the driver. I thought they had worked out all the bugs using this driver with 68xx,69xx series but I was obviously wrong.

I was so confident that kali will work out the box I did a dual boot with windows 7 into my mbr. Now I’m thinking I shouldn’t have done that and should’ve just install it separate from the mbr. That worked like Hell man.!!! Thats what i wanted.

Day before yesterday i installed Kali and i faced some problems, and every time it was you and your posts that came to my rescue. (y) Earlier the system used to get heated up quickly and the system fan seemed like blower and the normal temp used to be 62-68°C. Now the fan goes smoothly and normal temp has gone down to 42-46°C. Just one thing i used: ## Kali Regular repositories deb kali main non-free contrib deb kali/updates main contrib non-free ## Kali Source repositories deb-src kali main non-free contrib deb-src kali/updates main contrib non-free instead of ## Kali Regular repositories deb kali main non-free contrib deb kali/updates main contrib non-free ## Kali Source repositories deb-src kali main non-free contrib deb-src kali/updates main contrib non-free as the usual http servers were too slow.

Just hope AMD to focus on these issues and fix them soon. Once again thanx man!!! Hi Sameer, That’s very kind of you, Thanks. I liked the part where you showed your sources.list and which repo was working faster for you.

I’ll add that in fixing slow apt-get update in Kali Linux post to make everything available in one area. If you want to dig in more, you might want to try few commands as outlined in helpful ATIconfig commands. Some works, some are now removed by AMD, but useful nevertheless. Last but not the least, I thank Debian devs, they are the Wiz fixing things, Kudos to them and of course Kali Devs for making Kali Linux available publicly.:). Hi Daniel, Thanks. But you missed line 1 of this guide UPDATE: – Please follow the final guide instead of this one to. This guide was an interim one while Debian released the driver, but Kali didn’t.

It worked just fine back them. Since Kali Dev team ported this new fglrx driver in early March 2014 to Kali repo, this guide became obsolete and everyone should just follow the new guide mentioned above.

(Final version). Dude, how did you miss those lines in large fonts!!! Must’ve been working late and long:) Hope that explains. After doing more research I found that my card is supported by fglrx it’s a his hd 6800 which the 6800 series is supported. It would be consider dumb for them to drop support of their better cards. What I’ve also notice was the fact that ati commands is not supported by many of their higher priced cards.

Not to many cards are supported using “ati commands” and what I heard is they’re going to change or just completely get rid of that since amd purchase ati that’s why you haven’t seen any advances in their command structure. It said I had to manual config the fglrx driver /usr/bin/aticonfig to create working xorg.conf configuration. If you check under “helpful ati commands” you’re find the support cards from ATI not amd totally different and the list of unsupported cards only apply to “command support” for those cards. Radeon 6800 series were one of the first to get supported by fglrx so the problem is mostly kali since amd is leaning away from the “old” ati ways. I tried the wheezy 7.5 since kali is based on it but no luck and when you goto add/remove software it clearly states the support for the 5000,6000,and 7000 cards and my 6850 is definitely one of those cards. I thought fglrx were for the lower end cards under 5000 and the radeon driver were for the cards above 5000. The auto config only works with those cards under 5000 and just a few higher with some mobile including your card.

So the fglrx is a better driver you say? How when it’s 2dversion and radeon is 3d? Maybe I read something wrong but I would love to get this to work out on kali. Seems like both drivers would work with my card. Now I was able to install Kali Linux 1.0.6 dual boot on my Macbook Pro 8, 2 with graphic card of Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M.

But When I boot Kali Linux I get Gallium 0.4 on AMD Turks as the default graphic card. So I installed sysinfo and see if Kali recognizes my AMD Radeon HD 6750m graphic card which it does. What does Gallium 0.4 on AMD Turks mean? Will the Gallium 0.4 on AMD Turks be an issues with installing AMD ATI proprietary driver? Or is there driver for Gallium 0.4 on AMD Turks?

You're most welcome BigD. I just reinstalled Kali 1.0.6 and found that Kali Dev team added fglrx 13.12 in their repo (finally).

That means, now you can just Do an apt-get update, install dependencies, apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree apt-get install amd-opencl-icd apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and install fglrx drivers straight from repo. Apt-get install fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-driver fglrx-control fglrx-modules-dkms -y Also found that new fglrx adds radeon driver in blacklist (/etc/modprobe/fglrx.blacklist.conf) that mean we don't even have to edit grub.cfg file anymore. I'm about to write a new guide but as it stands, this current guide does exactly same as official Kali repo. Note that I wrote it before Kali added new fglrx in their repo, but least this served everyone well. Hmm long post:). Anywho, enjoy and thanks for your comment. Hi aviv, Things to check: 1.

You’re not in a VMWare/ VirtualBox. — this will NEVER work. Your graphics card is supported by AMD/ATI. You might be able to find a legacy driver, but I doubt it will work with new Kernel. You didn’t do /lib linking like some other posts suggested in different forums.

You cleaned previous fglrx before trying this guide. Apart from this post, see my previous reply to BigD. ——————————— You are most welcome BigD.

I just reinstalled Kali 1.0.6 and found that Kali Dev team added fglrx 13.12 in their repo (finally).

So you can either install as per my post via Debian Jessie repo or just stick to Kali Official repo to install the driver.

I just type this comand aticonfig –initial -f and reboot and working I have a problem in the battery indicator maybe you can help me, I’ve been looking here and there no one who can solve this problem, it looks like the type of asus k45dr all experienced the same thing as me, this type of dual vga but I see in the terminal just one vga fglrxinfo display:: 0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Thanks for the tutorial anyway, but I have one strage problem. I am running Kali linux 1.1.0 (as a root user) and I have installed AMD ATI proprietary fglrx driver completely and carefuly following this instruction (eg added line radeon.modeset=0 etc) At the end of installation process I executed commands: fglrxinfo fgl_glxgears And they worked perfectly, I saw the cube with the gears moving and FPS was counting in terminal. I have created xorg, added the necessary line in GRUB, entered control center. Then I rebooted and wanted to install AMD APP SDK. As I followed the instruction I checked if my AMD ATI properitary driver is ok, so I executed a command: lsmod grep fglrx and it returned nothing.
