Hi,

I installed Deepin on my iMac  but in "drivers manager", I have only one driver "intel-microcode" and so i decided to install the amd catalyst software but it can't be installed because i have this message everytime :

=====================================================================
AMD  Proprietary Driver Installer/Packager
=====================================================================


error: Detected X Server version 'XServer 1.19.0_64a' is not supported. Supported versions are X.Org 6.9 or later, up to XServer 1.10 (default:v2:x86_64:lib32:XServer 1.19.0_64a:none:4.9.0-deepin4-amd64
Installation will not proceed.


Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.nTaolF


So it's impossible for me to play steam games for example.
What I need to do ?

My 2011 iMac :
- Intel Core i5 2400s 2,5 GHz
- AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB
- 8 GB RAM

FYI, the old, deprecated AMD driver a.k.a fglrx driver is not supported on newer version of kernel & Xorg, thus you can try AMDGPU-PRO driver.

Thank you for your answer ArWhooo.

The AMD GPU PRO driver is not supported for my card AMD Radeon HD 6750M and the only AMD driver who is supported for my card is incompatible with the new version of Xorg so I don't know what to do or what to download.

AMD are working on the open source driver. For your card the best solution is to use the open source driver.
