====== Professionelle Grafikkarte AMD FirePro 2100 unter Debian installieren ======

Die Inbetriebnahme einer professionellen Grafikkarte AMD FirePro 2100 gestaltet sich unter Debian sehr einfach, wenn auch ein kleiner Trick nötig ist. Der Hersteller bietet unter folgendem Link die Treibersoftware als Download für RedHat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu und SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop an: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/workstation?os=Linux+x86_64#pro-driver

Für Debian lädt man einfach die Ubuntu-Software herunter, schließlich basiert Ubuntu auf Debian. Im Download-Paket ''amdgpu-pro-17.40-492261.tar.xz''((Sollte das Download-Paket einmal nicht mehr angeboten werden: Einfach an uns wenden, wir betreiben für unsere Kunden eigene Spigel-Server auf denen wir dieses Paket archiviert haben.)) befinden sich diverse Debian-Pakete (deb) und ein Shell-Skript, welches die Installation der Pakete durchführt. Führt man dieses Skript (als root) aus, erscheint die Meldung

<code>
Unsupported OS
</code>

Von soetwas lässt sich ein abgebrühter Programmierer wie ich es bin natürlich nicht aufhalten. Einfach das Shell-Skript mit einem Texteditor wie ''nano'' öffnen und nach dem String ''Unsupported OS'' suchen.

<code>
nano amdgpu-pro-install
</code>

STRG+W zum Suchen drücken

In der Funktion ''os_release()'' finden wir den String in Zeile 57. Einfach in Zeile 49 ''ubuntu'' durch ''debian'' ersetzen und schon läuft das Skript durch. Rechner neustarten und das neue Kernelmodul wird sofort geladen und läuft einwandfrei.
