# 1. Install Yaourt | |
# In the terminal window, type the following: | |
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf | |
# Add the following repository: | |

sudo pacman -Sy yaourt | |
# 2. Install Catalyst | |

# When asked to remove any conflicting packages, respond with yes [y]. | |
#3. Post Install | |

sudo pacman -S acpid | |
# Then, enter each command below: | |
sudo systemctl enable atieventsd | |

# Next, we have to write the initial config. Type the following: | |

# Lastly, we need to configure the bootloader. Follow the appropriate instructions for your bootloader: | |

# Edit “/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg” and add nomodeset to the APPEND line, e.g.: | |
APPEND root=/dev/sda[x] rw nomodeset | |
# GRUB2 BOOTLOADER | |
# Edit the “/etc/default/grub” file, and modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line so it looks like this: | |
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" | |
# Then: | |
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg | |
# 3. Last But Not Least… | |
# Reboot: | |
sudo reboot |
