To solve the problem, we have to: - download manually the proposed driver by amd official website on http://support.amd.com/fr-fr/download/ (in my case, the proposed driver is: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run) - extract and run: amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg # and find <your_distrib_tag> in the list sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildandinstallpkg <your_ditrib_tag> - fix apt marks # Because this is the higher driver version we can expect for a 4xxx series sudo apt-mark hold fglrx sudo apt-mark hold fglrx-amdcccle The proposed driver by amd is 8.970 and it works like a charm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1276379 Title: fglrx-installer 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 fails with some "legacy" devices (Radeon HD 2000 3000 4000) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1276379/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
