How do I fix my installation of ATI Catalyst Video Drivers in 12.04 LTS?
- by Boris
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.

Done.

When checking with fglrxinfo, I get:
