This should be a complete tutorial. Ask if you have some problems, as I might have had a different hardware/software configuration or forgot about a required package. that I installed before.  

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
# the following line added after moa comment later in the thread
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle
$ sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases

This should install Proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers.


Hi Raulo,

I tried to follow your ubuntu 10.10 install guide on a mobo msi 770 c-45/ graphics ati 5870, clean install, but i keep getting the problem that after the ATI 11.3 installation, i can't login to ubuntu, the screen stays black. I can login when i reset X to the default driver, but no login with the ATI 11.3. I have tried this guide on 10.10 and 11.04, with ati 11.3/11.4 and both give the same result: fglrxinfo segmentation fault.

khash@MiningRig:~$ fglrxinfo

any ideas?
