Re: ATI Linux Catalyst drivers It has a lot to do with Xorg server as well.
Nice read: »wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst
BUT, the great thing about Arch is how transparent everything is... so how does Arch get the installer to work!?!?
»aur.archlinux.org/packages/ca/ca···PKGBUILD
That is the magic.
So we have a download from Arch for an ati_make and a makefile_compat and the driver itself from AM... Ubuntu???
»launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+so···ubuntu1/
Hmmmm.... So the driver itself is patched/worked/maintained by Canonical. Ubuntu is a Debian distro... this should be able to be broken down and installed on Siduction.
The Arch linux make file was altered:
said by Vi0L0 :
it is ati's code from their make.sh file, modified a bit to fit our arch linux system, used inside PKGBUILD
And Arch linux included makefile_compat patch is simplistic (looks to make 2.6 kernel's available for use):
