fglrx and specific catalyst driver versions
Hello,
I am looking for specific catalyst driver versions for my ATI graphics card. Each driver has it's varying performance affect on linux with some newer versions actually degrading performance for my 5970. I would like to have some options if the one I choose isn't functioning well for my tasks.
Here are some examples from the AMD site.
For the 11.6 Catalyst: fglrx 8.861-110524a-119606C-ATI
For the 12.3 Catalyst: fglrx 8.95-120214a-133662E-ATI
http://developer.amd.com/download/ccc/p ... fault.aspx
Looking through packages I found this page:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fglrx-driver.html
On it there are many driver versions like:
[2012-04-08] fglrx-driver 1:12-3-1 MIGRATED to testing (Britney)
[2011-07-22] fglrx-driver 1:11-6-3 MIGRATED to testing (Britney)
Am I correct in assuming the debian fglrx-driver 1:12-3-1 is the equivalent of the AMD Catalyst 12.3 fglrx 8.95
and the debian fglrx-driver 1:11-6-3 is the equivalent of the AMD Catalyst 11.6 fglrx 8.861?
After adding the repository which contains the specific driver I'm looking for is added to my sources.list,
do I just # apt-get install <complete name, like 'fglrx-driver 1:11-6-3'> ?
Cheers,
Big Pippin
