Re: AMD Graphics Drivers

These files seems not in conflict.

Assuming you are not using hybrids cards like explained in the wiki

pacman -S  catalyst-hook catalyst-utils 

Of course accept the replacement of mesa-gl
then

aticonfig --initial

add 'blacklist radeon' (without quote) in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
create a file /etc/modules-load.d/flgrx.conf and add 'flgrx' in it. (without quote)

add nomodeset to your kernel parameter

reboot and

lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrxinfo

Note: I'm basically reading the wiki to you. Use it as reference.

[dan1el@dan1el-PC ~]$ lsmod | grep fglrx

amd_iommu_v2            7196  1 fglrx

OpenGL version string: 4.3.12618 Compatibility Profile Context 13.251

The wiki alone couldnt solve the problem..
That was your part to help me with the driver problem first.

Re: AMD Graphics Drivers

It's a steam error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libGL.so.1

I googled it but nothing of this worked

Re: AMD Graphics Drivers

ok.
I hope by deleted you mean : removed using pacman.

Edit your first post as solved.

Edit: I Would like to add ,next time, instead of trying everything that come to mind and break your system, read and understand the wiki first.
