Installing Catalyst drivers on Ubuntu
After screwing around with the drivers I got from ATI’s site (which were totally useless, it would just create and then delete a temporary directory with no error message), I decided to look further afield. The solution was as follows (11.04, 64-bit):
- Add this ppa to your system: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates (follow instructions there)
- Run update manager, install whatever pops up.
- Run jockey (the Additional Drivers program) and install the driver you see (includes the Catalyst Control Center). It should install with no problems.
- Profit!
