AMD Catalyst Driver installer failing at DKMS

http://askubuntu.com – I am following these instructions to install the fglrx drivers. When I am running sudo sh amd-driver-12-6-x86_64.run it tells me fglrx is already installed; even though I ran the commands to remove it. So I added the --force option anyway and went through the installer; here is the output: Created directory fglrx-install.rUnXwA Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Another release, another fglrx tracking thread.

AMD have just released the official 12.10 drivers. While Quantal (and as such Raring) has working drivers in the repos (for HD5k+ cards) the AMD release is a little newer (fglrx 9.002 compared to 9.000).

Download is here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...eon_linux.aspx You need to extract it.

Hi,

I am using an ATI Radeon 9800 se with HDMI connection.

I have two choices :

1/ First one is to install the free driver of Xorg and my screen has a good display but I CANNOT use special 3D effect with compiz or others 3D application.

I followed the instructions here

What is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx)?
