Can't install ATI Catalyst

dannytatom · 2009-02-14 18:14:34

Hate to ask for help, but can't find anything from google. Also sorry if this is the wrong place to post it. Anywho, I'm having trouble installing ATI Catalyst. When I installed Arch I installed the oss drivers, but I can't play any resource heavy games (like Urban Terror). If there's another way o fix it without installing Catalyst, that's cool to.

Anyway, when I do pacman -S catalyst I get:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: catalyst-utils conflicts with libgl. Remove libgl? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ati-dri: requires libgl>=7.2

I'm not exactly sure how I should take care of that. Do I need to remove everything installed by the OS driver or what?

pacman -Rd libgl
and then
pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils

ah, never thought to ignore dependencies. is there any down side to that?

also, once it's done, is it safe to remove everything installed by the OS drivers?

Alright so I think I've got it good.

I removed libgl and xf86-video-ati, thats all the OS driver comes with, right? Tryin' to make sure I have everything cleaned up. ;o
