Description

Add a package for the ATI/AMD Radeon proprietary drivers, aka catalyst or fglrx. I have a frontend with an older model Radeon card that would not do TV Out properly with the open-source "radeon" driver.

I did a source install but there is a package in the Arch AUR called catalyst 9.12-1 that may also work.

I do not have the hardware for this, so someone will need to test it.

The pkg works, but thought it was worth mentioning that I had to use the QT painter. OpenGL would lock up anytime a QT screen(settings) was loaded.
