Is there a way to make catalyst driver work in Trusty for the radeon hd4330?
- by Laurent BERNABE
Though official Catalyst software 13.1 is suitable for ati radeon hd4330, it can't be installed on Ubuntu 14.04 as it can't support Xorg = 7.6
As I need proprietary drivers for trusty, I would like to know if there is a way to bypass this limitation ? (For example by fetching driver sources)
Here are some results from the terminal :
