You might want to try Xubuntu. At least mine went smoothly.

I've wrote a guide of it. Hope that can help you.

SWEET ,THANK YOU !!1 (L) I will give it a try !

Hello !

I test it , and its works but not very well but its better.

1 Question , what i need to do in the xorg.conf on :

IV.Config AMD Driver

Check if all your cards can be detected and then write configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

And

On terminal last step :

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

I get :

ERROR - Get temperature failed for adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 7700 series
ERROR - Get temperature failed for adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 7700 series

I Have Two cards ( 7770 )

And every time I move the mouse I get a blink line on the screen ( its annoying )

If you can tell me something or someone else ! Thanks @lueo

I'm not sure what happened...

Have you installed Catalyst 12.4?

7xxx need Catalyst > 11.12 to be recognized.

On Settings > AMD Catalyst Control Center > Information > Software :

Driver Packaging version : 8.96.7
2D Driver version : 8.96.4
Catalyst Control center Version : 2.14
RandR Version: 1.3

Try the following commands before aticonfig:

Same:

ERROR - Get temperature failed for adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 7700 series
ERROR - Get temperature failed for adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 7700 series

...
Nothing I can do more...

How about skip this step and try cgminer detection directly? If cgminer shows your cores correctly, then you're ready to do.

Yes , im going to install the miner , but the blink line and lot of crash reports are annoying :P

I write when I  make it

Did you do:


Sometimes the error appears because the xorg.conf isn't built right or not at all.
'-f' is force, if you omit it, sometimes xorg.conf won't be built properly.

Also, did you reboot after you --initial -f the aticonfig step? Reboots are a requirement for many steps.
For instance, after you install the CCC driver, reboot, then install SDK, reboot, set aticonfig, reboot, then check --odgt. ;)
These reboots are required because changes are being made to the kernel and kernel code won't be running without a reboot.

Thanks for your Help & Answers but I give up , cant solve this :P , I'm back to windows until next drivers updates for my 7000 series

Thanks guys !

I met the same problem while reinstalling xubuntu.

The problem is solved after I upgrade the system by:


Hope that helps!
