ATI Catalyst Control Center

[Jan Gnodde]

With the latest update of the ATI-drivers I got a new program in the menu, called ATI Catalyst Control Center (the executable is called amdcccle). It is meant to control ATI-cards.
When I start this program it runs in the background, but there is no window where I can control my Ati-card (as shown here). Is this a bug, and if not: what is the meaning of this program?

Hey,

This program is as far as I know a replacement for the old firegl_control panel. What you could try is running the executable from the commandline and see if it gives any errors. Maybe those errors give a better explanation why the program isn't running properly.

Regards.

Oh, but I did that already:

Code:

gnodde@lap ~$ amdcccle

And nothing more, until I hit Ctrl-C to stop it and get my prompt back.

I've just upgraded my own pardus installation and I'm having almost the same problem as you. There's only one minor difference; I do get errors on the commandline:

Code:

ben@pardus ~ $ amdcccle
X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1
  Extension:    148 (Uknown extension)
  Minor opcode: 33 (Unknown request)
  Resource id:  0x79
X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) 1
  Extension:    148 (Uknown extension)
  Minor opcode: 48 (Unknown request)
  Resource id:  0x79

Maybe someone else knows how to solve these,

Regards,

Ben

UPDATE: Have just rebooted and I am now in exactly the same situation as you are.

I think this is a bug.  According to the above article "Amdcccle is only at version 0.8, and everything isn't 100% set so if you run into any problems please report them."  I ran into the same problem.  It sounds like there will be improvements as the program matures from its current 'beta" status.

Hmm... I get Segmentation Fault...  But as MSullivan stated that its only in beta stages.
