I got this error today:

I don't know why, and I do not know if I care.

I use catalyst (not catalyst hook) but since I couldn't get Xorg to work on this kernel with this driver even with catalyst-hook (which gave me your problem) I just downgraded the kernel to 3.11.2-1 and everything works again. I suggest waiting a few days for a better solution

Downgrade Xorg to 3.11.2-1?

Not xorg, the kernel ^^ xorg is actually at 1.14.3-1. Sorry, my post was not clear, I fixed it

Tell me, did this occur after upgrading to kernel or..?

This looks like newer kernel was installed but there are no headers, try running `catalyst_build_module all`, ofc. if you are using drivers from unnoficial repo.

Yes, I don't know whas happening, but, now, I format my desktop again, and Install Archlinux slowly. So... this error doesn't occurs more.

Thanks!

I think it's because of the new kernel. Reinstalling is not a solution, it's avoiding the problem ;D
Instead, I switched to catalyst-hook (I used catalyst) and upgraded to kernel 3.11.4, the latest version of xorg (there was a new one), gnome 3.10 and the module compiled perfectly, so now everything works on my system

You right, but you know... I have a lot projects in queue and not have time to search and test evertying

But, now... catalyst has installed successfully, but, I think isn't working 100%, because, when I click (for example), in a Google Chrome tab, and move to left/right, all tabs disappear or are blurry.

Anyway, thanks.

It seems you don't have linux headers installed.

# pacman -S linux-headers

Arch Linux
