I've just checked AMD's website, and it seems that they support your card only in their legacy driver which, however, doesn't support new xservers.
http://support.amd.com/en- us/download/desktop/legacy?product=Legacy2&os=Linux%20x86_64 That driver should work well with the kernel (Linux 3.2) and xserver (1.11) that come by default in Ubuntu 12.04 (not in the point releases though). If you download the installer from that page, you can then follow these steps: 1) extract the zip archive 2) Open a terminal and get to the directory where the extracted installer is, then type sudo sh name_of_the_installer --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise 3) This will build deb packages for you, which you will be able to install (only the fglrx package and the fglrx-amdcccle packages are useful to you) I hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262238 Title: [SRU] Add support for the lts-saucy stack Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “fglrx-installer-experimental-13” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “fglrx-installer-experimental-13” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: SRU request: Please accept fglrx and fglrx-updates into precise-proposed. [Rationale] The packages need to be compatible with the lts-saucy stack in 12.04.4. [Impact] Without this work, the packages won't build against Linux 3.11 and won't be installable when using the backported X stack. [Test Case] After installing the update, users should be able to boot the system as usual, with no regressions of any kind. * without the lts-saucy stack * with the lts-saucy stack installed [Regression Potential] Low. The non -updates flavour is the same driver that we shipped in Saucy. As for the -updates flavour, users expect to receive new drivers if they chose that package.
