With the last command before reboot, I'm getting:

Code:

user@box:~$ sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=allUnable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

If I use Ubuntu's Additional Drivers utility, it will see the adapter but the platform needs to be specified and attempting to mine sends it into a frenzy of errors.

Any suggestions?

Instead of sudo apt-get install fglrx

try this:

cd ~
sudo aptitude install dkms
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all
sudo reboot

Hey thanks for this, I was wondering if you knew of a way to upgrade the drivers at a later date? I am running 11.5 and would like to do some testing with other versions but my linux skills are poor.
