Installing AMD Proprietary Linux Display Driver (fglrx) in the Gutsy.

[Rog131]

You can use Restricted Drivers Manager

KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Restricted Manager.

It will install fglrx 8.37.6 and it edits xorg.conf:


What it did:

Changing: Driver from ati to fglrx.
and inserting

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

in the xorg.conf.

But

:~$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present

Xorg.conf needs Option "VideoOverlay" "on" in the Section "Device"



Or you could download latest drivers from AMD and install them.
