Hello to all.
Just wondering if there is anybody here who has any experience installing the drivers for an ATI Radeon HD 6790 GPU under Maverick.
I've tried downloading the driver package from the ATI website (apparently this is proprietary driver 8.831.2), and running the installer .sh. file.
With this file, I choose everything to install automatically, and afterwords I am given two choices under System > Preferences, they are "ATI Catalyst Control Center" and "ATI Catalyst Control Center (Administrative)"
Here's the problem, no matter which one I choose, I am immediately given the following error message
"There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following.
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly.
Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
When I try to configure by entering the command "aticonfig --initial" in the terminal, I am told that "no supported graphics adapters detected."
I'm nearly at my wit's end, and just wondered if anyone here can shine some knowledge my way and help me with my issues.
Much Appreciated,
-Andy
