Hi, after the latest kernel update, I haven't been able to install catalyst. I was using catalyst-test, which is outdated now. And with this new kernel, the driver is not working anymore, so I'm using vesa driver for now.
I'm trying to install the current catalyst package through yaourt, and I get a conflict. The conflict is with catalyst-test which I can't uninstall because of this:
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

:: xorg-xdriinfo: requires libglIf I try to remove these packages, I get more dependencies unsatisfied...
The solution I can think of is start uninstalling every one of these packages from the unsatisfied dependencies, write them down, and reinstall them once I get the ATI driver correctly installed again.
Any other ideas on how to fix this?

Videocard:

Also, everytime I try to reinstall catalyst through yaourt, it downloads the executable from ati.com. Is there a way to avoid this and check if downloaded version is up to date instead of downloading it every time?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: Ok, I used pacman -Rdd catalyst-test to remove the package, now I'm trying to install catalyst...

Ok, so after removing catalyst-test and trying to install catalyst, I got the following error:

Installing catalyst-utils after removing catalyst-test fixed the problem. I'm still having some issues when trying to use tty0 with Ctrl+Alt+F1, since I don't see anything. But I can come back to graphic mode on Ctrl+Alt+F7 and everything works normal over here.
I'll keep on looking up for a solution to not being able to use ttys...
