Hello,
For a couple days now, I've been trying to get the AMD Radeon HD 7970 cards (I have two of them) installed and working in my machine with the proprietary drivers. I tried Blackmoores method, other scripts, all versions, and looked at at least a dozen different installation methods. I've always been able to get everything to install correctly. However, upon rebooting, I either get just a black screen or a blinking cursor in the upper left corner with a black screen. This happens midway though the boot process when X tries to load.
I am beside myself with this installation right now. This is my last resort and I hope someone can help me get this working.
For background information, I have no intentions or use for the cards to be used as actual video display cards. I only wish to use them for GPU password cracking, etc. I would like to continue using my onboard video for my graphics display.
First is this possible and if so, can anyone help? I think I could install Kali Linux in my sleep at this point I've re-installed it so many times.
