I'm trying to set up my graphics drivers on a newly installed Arch environment. I'm on an UEFI system with BIOS disabled, using systemd-boot as the bootloader. I configured the entry config file's options to "root=/dev/sdb5 ro nomodeset", and ran "bootctl update" before restarting. The terminal is at a reduced 4:3 resolution, so I'm guessing nomodeset is working. But when trying to install catalyst-test with aura, it keeps telling me that it failed to install, and I should add nomodeset to the GRUB entry, then run aticonfig, and enable atieventsd and another amd service with systemctl.
Update:
Checked the logs and it seems that firegl_public.o couldn't be built

The AUR comments say you should _remove_ 'nomodeset', but rajder might be getting a different error, since it's systemd's journal v. compilation: https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-test/
Use makepkg to compile and post the exact error message.

- If you use the syslinux bootloader ?:
- Edit "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" and add nomodeset to the APPEND line, e.g.:
APPEND root=/dev/sda[x] rw nomodeset
- Otherwise, if you use the Grub(2) bootloader:
- Edit the "/etc/default/grub" file, and modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line so it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodese

What? Where are said notes? Why use yaourt at all?
