HOW TO INSTALL AMD CATALYST KALI LINUX TOOLS DRIVERI accidentally found that AMD ATI proprietary fglrx driver from Debian Jessie works in Kali Linux. I am not sure if we can blame AMD either, the driver did work in Ubuntu based distributions and I guess because Ubuntu is more supported and focused by Hardware vendors, that’s all that matters to them.īut like every similar case, Debian guru’s jumped in and started testing it in Debian Jessie (Jessie is the new testing release after Wheezy). Open source driver (vesa) worked just fine in Kali Linux 1.0.6, but from the discussions and digging what we found that AMD pretty much repacked an old driver and modified a few files without checking it against some of the big names in Linux (Debian).

Obviously this solution is still new and we would like more people to test it and confirm that this is working for them. We’ve tried anything and everything that we could find and finally found a workable solution that worked for new Kernel 3.12.6 in Kali Linux 1.0.6. Well, to be honest, the existing AMD ATI proprietary fglrx driver in repo was broken anyway and needed patching for Kernel 3.7. Since then every AMD proprietary graphics card driver stopped working as the existing version in repository was not compatible with new Kernel. Kali Linux release it’s new version 1.0.6 which installed new Kernel 3.12.6 in early January 2014. Install AMD ATI proprietary driver (fglrx) in Kali Linux 1.0.6 running Kernel version 3.12.6.
