ATI drivers - version

Hi!

With Cerebral help I installed ATI drivers 8.22.5-1 and works very good. Now on the server is version 8.22.5-3. I put ati-drivers in the pacman.conf IgnorePkg. Is it safe tu update drivers?
Thanks,

Mitja

Re: ATI drivers - version

I'm using the newest version of the drivers in [extra].

Make sure you install the kernel module too, if you're running stock kernel it's ati-drivers-arch and if you're running archck it's ati-drivers-archck

In the extra are ati-drivers-*-5.2, and *-5.3 which one pacman want to install on my system. There are also ati-drivers-arch*-5.2 and archck-5.2.

Re: ATI drivers - version

$ pacman -Ss ati-drivers
extra/ati-drivers 8.22.5-3
    ATI precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets. Userspace
    tools and libraries
extra/ati-drivers-arch 8.22.5-2
    ATI precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets. Drivers for
    the stock Arch Linux kernel.
extra/ati-drivers-archck 8.22.5-2
    ATI precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets. Drivers for
    the ArchCK Linux kernel.

Which kernel do you have?  If you have stock kernel, then run

pacman -S ati-drivers-arch

and if you have archck kernel, run

pacman -S ati-drivers-archck

If you use both kernels, install both.
