    Kali-4.19x64 - Ati HD 4670 ( fglrx-legacy-driver )

    Hello Network Guru's and Proffesional, my name is Martin and i just installed this awesome operation system on my home pc.
    As i expected i run in some troubles, but the main one that i can't fix myself is the GPU.

    I have ATI HD 4670 (Pci-e ddr3 512mb) video card in the Pc just for some media features like streaming, some level of gaming and videos.
    I like to use it for gaming wish Steam: CS 1.6 , CS:GO , JKA, but without drivers is not possible.

    Version of Linux 4.19.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.20-1kali1 (2019-02-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

    As this page https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprieta...st_Legacy_13.1 tells me the correct driver is 13.1 ( aka fglrx-legacy-driver )
    So i did added bellow repo to my sources.list and apt-get update the distro.
    -------------------- deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main contrib non-free
    But then i try to install the fglrx and i got this log in my console.
    Code:
    root@home:/etc/apt# apt-get install fglrx-legacy-driver

    You should remove the repo, it will mess up your kali install. Good luck on finding a driver.

    For one thing it is possible, to add additional repos. But thats if you can get it working. ( or maybe if the repo is active?) I tried but good luck.

    I never said it was not possible. It is just strongly advised against doing it.
