if I don't use AMDOverdriveCtrl - I get the following message after passing `aticonfig --od-setclocks=985,285 --adapter=all`:

Code:
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series  
        Please check that input values were valid

So AMDOverdriveCtrl must be doing something...And it's not `aticonfig --od-enable --adapter=all` ... that didn't change anything.

It would be good to know how to script Screen anyway - for general Linux education.

yes, ubuntu an other distros are using catalyst 11.5 -
yes you need AMDOverdriveCtrl if is your driver not up to date.
yes I did same , I was assuming I have 11.6.

just update catalyst to 11.6 it is easy copy/paste job, 10 min max:
