I created a demo user to test my X server config and ATI graphic driver. I run into a problem that my user didn't have relevant permissions to run commands with sudo. Every time I tried to lunch the Catalyst Control Centre I got a popup windows asking for password to perform administrative task.
How do verify that my driver is loaded
More checks can be found in [1]. As a simple check you can run:
Execpt CCC what command can I used to list, print and change the graphic driver settings
Solution
- The name of the program is displayed in the popup windows: amdcccle
- If you didn't notice you can find this using these methods
$ dpkg -l | grep ati | egrep -iv 'configuration|application|automatic|compatible|compatibility|static|foomatic|ating|ation|ative' | grep ati $ dpkg -l | grep amd $ dpkg -L fglrx-amdcccle | grep bin /usr/lib/fglrx/bin /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdcccle /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdxdg-su /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdupdaterandrconfig

You can use a command 'aticonfig'. Example output can look like this:
$ aticonfig --lsa --odgc

$ aticonfig --odgt
Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

$ aticonfig --odgc
