A newly built CentOS 7.1 system, with an ATI/AMD video card. I installed the proprietary driver (this is a Dell, and they had their own rpm), and after I ran aticonfig –initial, init 3, then init 5, and we have a working video.

Excerpt the fonts are atrocious. All the letters seem to be missing pixels, so it’s as though there’s no across, almost.

He’s running gnome. There has to be a quick fix – a link would be great.

Thanks in advance.

  • Any particular reason to have proprietary video driver? I have Dell Optiplex-es with most generic of ATI cards; latest CentOS 7
    “automagically” handles two screens (even combination of screens of different resolution) attached to this ATI card out of the box. Just curious.
