Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. The new driver does not identify
my hardware.

Title:
fglrx-updates broken dependency with xorg-video-abi-12 (Quantal)
Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
fglrx needs updated in quantal for the xserver 1.13 API.
[Workaround]
Use the FOSS -ati driver.
[Original Report]
I run updates today on my quantal box.
I have a ATI Madison [Radeon HD 5000M Series] and the updates removes
the xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-ati
When I restart, all xserver is broken because /usr/bin/X cannot be
found. I even don't have vesa or fbdev for start with "startx"
command.
I install with recovery mode xserver-xorg-video-vesa and xserver-xorg-
video-fbdev and now I have a crappy 1024 resolution and no second
monitor support.
If I install the packages xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-
video-ati I still have the same problem.
So I try to install fglrx-updates, and it conflicts with a dependency
of a virtual package that it is not provided anymore
sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates
