Hi Folks; Well today i tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 1204 to 1210 and at boot up it did let me hanging , so i waited but nothing,then i did not try to figure it out cause i don't have much patience, so i had an ISO of Lubuntu 1310 around and installed it, everything is running smoothly, now I'd like to get the ATI AMD Catalytic control, i tried this per instructions don't know what I'm doing wrong! when I put this bellow command in terminal it says no such command
{sudo ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run}


These instructions' i think maybe this is what i'm doing wrong: please clarify in detail

{{{{Once downloaded put them somewhere you can find, unzip them and (‘chmod 755′ the resulting binary}}}}.

Execute the following command:
sudo ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run


I follow these instruction bellow: Any detail guidance would be appreciated.

Your link is broken.

The instructions are assuming your terminal window is open in the directory the file is located in. That's what the ./ indicates. If that isn't the case, you'll have to give it the/full/file/path/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run to get it to work.

Also want to add' I think I'm where i started before installing this ati6450 video card! i can't change separate resolution for each monitor, i can change resolution on monitor 1 it says clone but on Sony tv monitor2 doesn't even give resolution choice,and only 2 output work at same time DVI HDMI,or HDMI VGA or VGA DVI,the monitor 3 has no signal. Also the HDMI doesn't have sound,so on this set up it's called clone monitors,on Intel it's Mirror.well waited money for nothing,well i have a spa
 
The graphics drivers for ATI (and Nvidia) are kernel specific. When you do the installation, it compiles a kernel module that is compatible with your current kernel and installs it. If you update your kernel, you need to rebuild the kernel module/re-install the drivers. So when you updated, it most likely included a new kernel, which means you need to re-install the drivers again.
 
Thanks I did these commands and got the drivers and the Catalytic Control Bur still can't do VGA 1 1204x768 and DVI 1920x1080 resolution there is no other option then clone or mirror.i also notice VGA signal is better than HDMI so i use the VGA for monitor 1.


- Open the Software Sources application
- Change to the Additional Drivers tab
- Activate the AMD drivers


sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)


sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

As a further measure I also check what else is left

dpkg -l '*fglrx*'

and

locate fglrx

I also make sure I have a correct set of open source drviers installed

sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

I then rebuild the the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst driver to be installable through the Restricted Hardware Driver Manager (a.k.a. jockey)

sudo apt-get install fglrx-modaliases

After these have all been completed I reboot and now the open source drviers are working AND xserver-xorg has bene rebuilt I reinstall fglrx

sudo apt-get install fglrx

sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)


sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
