Title: AMDoverdrive wont work in Linux after flashing card, but afterburner works on
Post by: neoteric on June 04, 2011, 01:44:15 PM
I have searched the forums, and tried my best to solve this on my own.  I apologize if its been asked and answered.

I flash my AMD cards.  If I boot into linux, the AMDOverdrive wont work on the card.  If I boot into windows, the card works fine.  Can anyone make some suggestions as to how I make this work in Linux.

Thanks so much.

Thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it.
I overclocked my ATI video card a little.  Worked great.  MSI Afterburner works just fine in windows, allows me to pump it up a little.

However, when I boot the machine into Linux, AMDoverdrive opens and freezes there.  I dont know what ATIconfig is.  Is it in the linuxcoin distro, do you know.
Thanks again for your help.

aticonfig is the command-line utility that's installed when you install the Catalyst control center.

type: aticonfig --help

from any terminal.
