I tried to install the driver right off the ATI website, but ran into two issues so far.
If you run the actual ati*.run file, you'll get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop$ sudo ./ati*.run Created directory fglrx-install.O16780 Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.532............................... ================================================== ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager ================================================== Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.27-7-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro --iscurrentdistro doesn't affect the setup in any fashion, so I did ./ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64.run --extract and played around with the scripts but still no go. I don't get why people say the xorg version isn't supported... when you extract the file from ATI you clearly see this in the packages: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages$ ls ATI Debian Fedora Mandriva RedFlag RedHat Slackware SuSE Ubuntu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages$ cd Ubuntu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu$ ls ati-packager.sh ChangeLog dists [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu$ cd dists [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu/dists$ ls 7.10 8.04 8.10 gutsy hardy intrepid source [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu/dists$ cd intrepid [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu/dists/intrepid$ ls 10fglrx.in compat fglrx-kernel-source.install.in overrides xorg-driver-fglrx.default xorg-driver-fglrx.links acpi control fglrx-kernel-source.postinst README.Debian xorg-driver-fglrx-dev.install.in xorg-driver-fglrx.manpages amdcccle.desktop copyright fglrx-kernel-source.prerm replacements xorg-driver-fglrx-dev.links xorg-driver-fglrx.postinst amdcccle.kdelnk dkms.conf.in fglrx-modaliases.install rules xorg-driver-fglrx.dirs xorg-driver-fglrx.postrm changelog.in fglrx-amdcccle.install.in modaliases xorg-driver-fglrx.atieventsd.init xorg-driver-fglrx.install.in xorg-driver-fglrx.preinst [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/test/packages/Ubuntu/dists/intrepid$ cd ..
