My graphic card is a Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series.
I tried these 2 answers from What is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Drivers in 12.04 LTS?
But unfortunately, it does not work for me:
When running the amd script, I get this error message:
$ sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run ... DKMS part of installation failed. Please refer to /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for details
When checking this log file, I get:
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers. Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.961/source -> /usr/src/fglrx-8.961 DKMS: add completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area.... cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.961/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.2.0-24-generic-pae --norootcheck......(bad exit status: 1) [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.961 with DKMS [Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.961 from DKMS Deleting module version: 8.961 completely from the DKMS tree. Done. [Reboot] Kernel Module : update-initramfs
When checking with
fglrxinfo
, I get:$ fglrxinfo X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 138 (ATIFGLEXTENSION) Minor opcode of failed request: 66 () Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 13
