Older xorg has been a must since I think like almost 5 years by now. As for the kernel, well.. Catalyst-test works all the way up to 5.2 (and a simple patch can get you also 5.3). 5.4 is where it breaks though.

Is there an option to make this work on the latest kernel? Or do i need to use an older kernel and xorg for this.

@Vi0L0 does this package work on kernel 5.3.12???

Ok it was maybe one of these instead? https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/embedded/amd-embedded-radeon/amd-embedded-e-series/e6760 https://www2.ati.com/drivers/embedded/15.201-160507a-311613e-aes.zip

Either way they all should be fairly good.

The ones I linked were http://www2.ati.com/drivers/firepro/15.302.2301-linux-retail_end_user.zip and http://www2.ati.com/drivers/firepro/15.201.2401-linux-retail_end_user.zip

I remember I had also found another with an oddly newer date https://www2.ati.com/drivers/embedded/15.302.2301-160625a-311286e-aes.zip .. But I don't recall atm which differences I had found (and my laptop is MIA at the moment)

EDIT: duh, I had forgotten I had already saved my work (forgive some manjaro-specific mess) https://github.com/mirh/packages-extra/blob/master/catalyst-utils/PKGBUILD

@mirh its just that my hands are all covered by work and life :) But I enjoyed your post and I like the idea of taking best parts of different drivers to make "catalenstein" :) About Embedded - prev link is dead but are you talking about this driver?: https://www.amd.com/en/support/embedded/amd-embedded-g-series-processors/g-series-lx-soc

18.50 is AMDGPU-PRO which is totally different. As for 15.12, it's already shipping in catalyst-test.

But since it requires some tinkering for dx11 cards to be working, Vi0L0 probably didn't want to get his hands dirty. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084&p=307#p1793036

Will you have a plan to add Crimson Edition driver to AUR? Between HD5000 series and R9/R7 300 series can use version 15.12 and after r9/r7 300 series can use version 18.50.

received an error when trying to install "error: target not found: linux<4.17 ", even though my kernel version is 4.14.56-1-lts. I am guessing it doesn't like the long term support version?

Anyone installed successfully recently? Even without installing gnome/xorg, I always get an unresolvable conflict between libglvn and catalyst-libgl. If I install xorg and gnome (for example) I get more conflicts because it pulls wayland. Does anybody have a solution for that? Would be enough if you point me in the right direction.
