Try this by N92. First what you need to do is go to ATI's site http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx.
Then once you have downloaded the driver open the folder that it is in.
Then open the terminal and type sudo nautilus you may need to type in your password.
next drag the file in the root folder.
Right click in the file then select permissions next click on the make executable box.
now double click on the file select run and follow the steps.

ps DO NOT ACTIVATE THE DRIVERS IN SYSTEM<ADMINISTRATION<HARDWARE DRIVERS!
this messes up the other driver you just installed.

Hi witblits1970 , here is a list of the things you must do (p.s. I am not trying make it difficult , it just is)
1. Uninstall fglrx with synaptic or use the command sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* then after removal you have to delete the folders /usr/lib/fglrx and usr/lib/lib32/fglrx in the usr libraries. This cleans up for new installation otherwise a file in both these folders causes problems with a new installation I forget actual name of it but it starts with amd??? then go to /etc/X11 and delete all of your Xorg.conf files as well.
2. Now , we need make sure the open source driver is installed correctly in a terminal copy and paste these commands:
A. sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
B. sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
C. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
D. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
E. reboot

3. Now you can use the open source driver or try to reinstall the proprietary driver. If want to use the Proprietary driver go to synaptic and install it from there because you don't have to worry about compiling it or if the dependencies have been met it will do this for you automatically. The next step is the reason I think you are having problems , you need to paste this command in a terminal :

sudo aticonfig --initial -f
Now reboot and you should be using the proprietary driver now.

sambolinux,
You need to specify the exact path to the aticonfig file.
Try using the following commands to find and execute the sudo aticonfig --initial -f command.

1: Open a terminal, and type
Code: Select all
sudo updatedb
and supply your password when/if prompted.

2: After the previous command has finished (there will be no output from the command, it will just return to the command line prompt) type this:
Code: Select all
locate aticonfig
and take note of the complete path to the file aticonfig.

3: Either type or copy and paste this path along with the command and hit your enter key and all should work. BTW: the path to the file will most likely be as follows:
/usr/bin/aticonfig
- so your command should look similar to this:

Code: Select all
sudo /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial -f
(if not post the results of your locate aticonfig command here for further assistance).

FYI:
Anytime you get a message about a file or command not being found, it means the system does not know where the file is located. This can occur even if the file is is the same directory you are currently in. There is a database file that keeps track of this information, and the command sudo updatedb is used to "refresh" the information in that database. That then allows the command locate filename to actually find the file and display the path to it. This is a very helpful command for just such problems as you experienced with the system finding the aticonfig command. 8-)

I have included a screenshot of the terminal and the results of the commands above for you below...

Been away for a while....

Does this card not enable your eye candy under open source? It should I would think. I would like some links saying otherwise.
