Hi all I'm trying to install the new omega drivers for Ubuntu 14.04
AMD Catalyst™ 14.12
But the ubuntu software center is complaining "Dependency is not satisfiable: fglrx-core"
I'm downloading this package.
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb
I had the same result, but I got it to work. Instead of the Ubuntu packages, get the generic "Linux (32-bit & 64-bit)" which is 148 MB zip file. Unzip and then sudo ./amd-driver-installer-14.501.1003-x86.x86_64.run. Choose to build packages for Trusty. It takes several minutes and doesn't seem to be doing anything, but just wait for it.
Then when I tried sudo dpkg -i *.deb with the resulting files it told me there was a conflict so I had to do apt-get remove ocl-icd-libopencl1:amd64 before it would work. But then the 4 .deb files installed without error.
sudo aticonfig --initial and reboot. flgrxinfo now reports:
display: :0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.4.13283 Compatibility Profile Context 14.501.1003
Seems to work but the catalyst control center won't start.
Edit: I tried Counter Strike in Steam and it ran very smooth. Much better than before but I think I had a broken driver install before.
Edit2: My chrome://gpu/ used to show all red / disabled and now only "Multiple Raster Threads" is disabled. Everything else is green. Full screen 60fps youtube is buttery smooth with no tearing.
Edit3: download separate amdcccle.deb package from amd site and reinstall it with Gdebi or Software centre, then Catalyst Control Cetntre will start.
fglrx-core seems to be the named "minimal driver" on amd website's page for ubuntu_64Bit, and here's the download link (accessible on December 31,2014):
