Re: few problems regarding shaman, ati driver 9,3

Note that in order to use Catalyst 9.3, you will need to downgrade your kernel, X server, and probably some other related packages.

mkdir catalyst-{old,old-utils}
cd catalyst-old
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-old/catalyst-old.tar.gz
tar xzf *.gz
cd ../catalyst-old-utils
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-old/catalyst-old-utils.tar.gz
tar xzf *.gz
makepkg -fisc
cd ../catalyst-old
makepkg -fisc
