Older Catalyst Package Needed

Falcata · 2008-09-24 14:27:04

Could someone find or make a package of the 8.7 catalyst driver? The currently available 8.8 catalyst driver makes Second Life crash immediately after starting up, so it is unplayable. Or, if that can't be done, could someone make a package of the current 8.9 drivers?

you tried getting pkgbuild via abs?

No, not yet. I'll have to try that when I get home.

Well, building a package for catalyst 8.7 failed for some reason, so now I'm trying to build a package for catalyst 8.9.

Building the package for catalyst 8.9 didn't start, because catalyst-utils 8.9 was missing. So, I tried building it and got this error message:

loading package data...
checking dependencies...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts                   [#####################] 100%
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
catalyst-utils: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Is it safe to force pacman to ignore this error, or do I need a different solution?

It should be safe. My system is running 8.9 since it came out and I haven't experienced any unusual problems.

Yeah, I already tried this and had no problems as well (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55748)

What does libdri.so do anyways?
