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.
mostly from memory , forgotten parts from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu ... s_manually
sudo updatedb
locate aticonfig
- so your command should look similar to this:/usr/bin/aticonfig
sudo /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial -f
