Good afternoon
I have installed Catalyst 10.10 to Ubuntu 10.10 using the following methodology:
wget http://someplace/ati-driver-installer-8.783_RC1-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.783_RC1-x86.x86_64.run
sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8.783_RC1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
sudo dpkg -i *deb
All is well and good. I have a system that boots into X and has acceleration.
user@Ubuntu:~/NewCatalyst$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.0.10243 Compatibility Profile Context
user@Ubuntu:~/NewCatalyst$
The issue that I face 'may' be a cosmetic one. When I open the Catalyst Control Center (system->preferences), I am confronted with the following information:
Catalyst Version 10.5
Driver Packaging Version 8.723-100406a-099494C-ATI
2D Driver Version 8.78.6
Catalyst Control Center Version 2.13
Obviously, the Catalyst version should report 10.10, and the packaging version should report 8.783. This issue has persisted with each Catalyst installation, beginning with 10.5, all the way up to the current 10.10 RC1.
Is there something wrong with my installation methodology? Do other users that update their catalyst drivers experience a similar issue?
Thanx Much,
Frank
