ATI graphic card driver for centos 7.4

Post by CrazyNewKid » 2017/09/29 07:20:46

Hello Everyone,
I just finished the fresh installation of centos 7.4. My laptop is thinkpad E135 with AMD E2-1800 processor and graphic card is radeon HD 7340. I tried with the official AMD Catalyst™ 15.9 Proprietary RHEL Graphics Driver(I've already changed the graphical.target to multi-user.target), but it told me that my xorg or xserver version is not right. Then I tried with AMDGPU-PRO 17.30, but after install it, I can't start the xserver. So I add the repository with elrepo, download these packages,
wget http://wdl.lug.ro/fglrx/testing/kmod-fg ... x86_64.rpm
wget http://wdl.lug.ro/fglrx/testing/fglrx-x ... x86_64.rpm
and try yum install and rpm -Uvh, still had no luck.
it just showed me the same thing: kernel(vc_cons)=0x24b805ce
installed: kernel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64 (@update)
kernel(vc-cons)=0xfc60327c
available: kernel-3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64(@base)
also with kernel(get_zone_device_page),
what should I do? Thanks. :?:

Are you sure that the default kernel does not provided the necessary module ?
What is the output of "lspci" ?

The Kernel does provide the module, sorry, I forget to tell that. But the default desktop shows not very good image,although everything works.
if I do lspci, I can see the graphic card, AMD Radeon HD 7340 Graphics. As I'm a new starter, I can't find xorg.conf in my system, so I guess I need to install the official driver or something, so after I do the aticonfig --initial, it will generate the file automatically and set my graphic card right.

I think that AMD haven't provided an official driver for RHEL/CenOS 7.4 ,yet.Thus the only logical way is to wait until they provide a new one.
