AMD Catalyst 14.12 Omega Proprietary Linux Display Driver

Neben dem Catalyst-Treiber-Update für Windows-Betriebssysteme hat AMD für die Grafikkarten-Serien Radeon HD 5000, HD 6000 HD 7000 und Rx 2xx auch aktualisierte proprietäre Linux-Treiber zum Download bereitgestellt. Erstmals stehen speziell angepasste Pakete für die Distributionen Ubuntu und Red Hat zur Verfügung, was die Installation des Treiberpakets erleichtern soll.

Für ältere Produkte der Serien Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 und HD 4000 ist der Catalyst 13.1 Legacy weiterhin der aktuell derzeit verfügbare Treiber. Derzeit werden die Distributionen Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite, Novell/SuSE product suite und Ubuntu offiziell unterstützt.
