Latest Ubuntu packages 3 August: fglrx 13.200 (based on 13.8 beta 1) is in Edgers: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa (fglrx: 2:13.200~beta-0ubuntu1~xedgers~saucy2), packaged by Rico Tzschichholz. fglrx 13.100 packages (based on 13.6 beta) are available in saucy-proposed (fglrx: 2:13.101-0ubuntu1), packaged by Alberto Milone. Latest kernel patches The drivers currently support 3.11-rc5 (3.11.0-2-generic). For unofficial patches for kernel 3.10 see the next post. These should not be necessary, however, and the patches are deprecated. I'm leaving the post for people interested in the process and for future reference!.
$ unzip amd-catalyst-13.8-beta2-linux-x86.x86_64.zip $ sh ./amd-catalyst-13.8-beta2-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

1) ASUS GL702ZC: Ryzen 1700, 32GB, RX580, MATE@Manjaro-x64 2) Lenovo X230: Core i5-3320M, 4GB, Intel HD4000, Intel 6205, MATE@Manjaro-x64 3) MSI GT70: i7-3650, 16GB, GTX680M, MATE@Manjaro-x64
Patch latest Krzysztof Kolasa has made available patches which add kernel 3.10 compatibility [1]. I have adapted these slightly and attached them to this post along with ready-patched files. As always, use these at your own risk (WFM, YMMV, ROFLFAQ, etc.). Manual patching instructions Note: this process is not for the inexpert. Don't ask for help if you can't follow instructions! The process is the same as for previous releases, i.e.: 1) Download 2) Extract 3) Patch 4) Build 5) Install For this process I assume you have a working directory called "temp" in your home. Change this to suit. I use /dev/shm as a handy ramdisk. I also assume you download and extract the patches to that directory. Details: 0) If this is the first time you've done this, install the necessary development packages (normally installed by the installer, if any are missing they should be identified in the output of step 5): $ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper dh-modaliases execstack 1) Once downloaded (the .run is in a .zip file. I shouldn't have to tell you how to deal with that), extract the installer files so we can patch manually: $ sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.run --extract ~/temp/amd $ cd ~/temp 2) Download, extract to ~/temp, and apply the attached patches (adapted from that in kolasa's GitHub repo [1]): $ patch -p0 < ./310.patch 4) Download and add a release signature (taken from Catalyst 13.4) to remove the testing watermark: $ cp signature ~/temp/amd/common/etc/ati/ 5) Build the packages (this will place the packages in the parent directory): $ cd ~/temp/amd $ ./ati-installer.sh 13.101 --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy 6) Change to the parent directory and install the debs: $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb 7) If you haven't done so already, create an Xorg.conf that will load fglrx: $ sudo amdconfig --init [1] https://github.com/kolasa/fglrx-13.1...1901e5d432e430

Updated debs are now in the repos.

I cannot switch to another console to kill the process or see startx output. I looked at the fglrx log android not see any entry marked (EE). I've also looked through dmesg and syslogs As a final effort I installed the 104 driver from the AMD website which works properly. Please update the fglrx deb files please
Hey, ive got some problems with the patching. Can someone help me? Im on stable 3.10 Code: balazs@balazs-GA-A75-D3H:/media/ramdisk$ sudo patch -p0 < ./310.patchcan't find file to patch at input line 15 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

1) Just use the debs from the repo. They work fine, there's no need to patch at the moment. 2) You shouldn't need to use sudo for the patching process. The error also indicates you haven't extracted the driver files to the place the patch is expecting (i.e. /media/ramdisk/amd ).
there was the driver however, i made a clear install yday, and its use the 3.10-2(?) from default. now it works, thanks
Looks like 13.6 supports kernel 3.11-rc1, which is nice. Or at least DKMS builds the kernel modules!
Any ideas? http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd...x86.x86_64.zip extracted to ~/temp/amd ~/temp $ patch -p0 < ./310.patch patching file amd/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/drm_proc.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 95.
