How to install AMD video card driver and enable Compiz effects in Ubuntu

Actually,Ubuntu 's default ATI driver can enable some Compiz effects already,but the default driver's effect is not good,so we use below ways:

Method 1:

We may install open source ATI video card driver : System->Administration->Hardware Drivers,tick the driver you need ,and then click it to intall.

Method 2:

Intall ATI official driver,below is the download link :

All series of ATI video share same linux driver,so you don't need to choose relevant model number.

cd /home/(your user name)/Downloads

and then run:
./ati-driver-installer-10-6-x86.x86_64.run

(Pls note that the filename of driver might be different due to version change )
chmod 777 ati-driver-installer-10-6-x86.x86_64.run

and then run it again:
./ati-driver-installer-10-6-x86.x86_64.run
