http://askubuntu.com – Fresh install of 12.04 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] 'Additional Drivers' shows ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, and ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) as not installed. ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver says it installs successfully when I try. The post-release updates say they fail (and when they fail the graphics driver no longer shows as installed either). I did sudo apt-get install fglrx, which said it was already installed and sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates which instal (HowTos)

Error Installing FGLRX driver 40 weeks 4 days ago

My computer uses a Radeon HD 6950.

Hi there. I've just bought my new machine, Lenovo thinkpad edge E520 with configuration mentioned at the end. I tried to install Ubuntu 11.10 64bit on it. It seemed to be no problem, but the graphics card driver.

I tried to use "Additional Hardware" which had 1. ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics (post-release updates) which resulted INSTALLATION FAILURE! 2.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my lenovo laptop and found a "chip" image on the top of the screen. It showed me to install 3 drivers

ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers (post-release updates) Broadcom STA wireless drivers ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers

When I installed 1st one, it showed me some error so, I installed 2nd one it was successful.
