[SOLVED] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected. What to do?

I tried setting up fglrx but can't get it. I installed catalyst-hook like described in ATI Catatlyst in the wiki. Along with the appropriate version of xorg-server. I've added fglrx to MODULES and blacklisted radeon.
When I try 'aticonfig' I get:

aticonfig: No supported adapters detected.

When I try 'modprobe fglrx' I get:

[ 3308.012870] [fglrx:firegl_init_device_list] *ERROR* No supported display adapters were found
[ 3308.012933] [fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_init_devices failed
ERROR: could not insert 'fglrx': No such device

Here's what 'lspci | grep VGA' shows:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]

I had to type that all out... What else should I post?

Fairly certain catalyst doesn't support that card anymore. I know they dropped support for the x1300 in my old laptop, and that was a few years back.

You'll have to use the open source drivers.

For sure?.. Is there a way I can try to force the driver to load for that card anyways and see what happens?

Re: [SOLVED] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected. What to do?

Quoted from the wiki:

Make sure that you own a R6xx (HD2xxx) or newer card or the driver won't be enabled. You will encounter an error if you try to enable your display using Catalyst and a card older than the R6xx series.

Any particular reason you are trying to use the catalyst drivers? On a card that old the open source drivers would be better anyways.

Doesn't the 'RS690M' in my 'lspci' output (the '690' in particular) correspond to the '6xx' in 'R6xx and above'?

Re: [SOLVED] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected. What to do?

No sorry, it doesn't. R600 is the chip used in the HD2000 cards:

Here's the announcement by ATI:

Just use the open source drivers. I see no reason why you shouldn't with such an old card.

Oh, alright. I was hoping to get 3D performance as good as in Windows maybe. I can't see Web GL in Chromium (I can in Windows).

Catalyst wouldn't be the place to go for that anyways:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … n_Chromium

I remember reading an article on the open source driver reaching 80-85% of the performance of catalyst on older cards (maybe why ATI dropped support from the proprietary one).

Re: [SOLVED] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected. What to do?

Oh yeah, I saw that but didn't realize it was driver-independent. I just tried it but it's so slow compared to in Windows. Oh well, looks like I'll just have to try the performance tuning options in the ATI (open source) wiki page and settle with it. neutral I will definitely make sure not to get ATI on my next machine.
