AMD is usually rather shy about the changes they implement in their Linux drivers, but this time they've decided that it’s time to actually tell us what the changes were, especially because the latest release is a very important one. AMD Catalyst 13.1 driver for Linux systems brought some improvements and bug fixes. This driver is based on the fglrx release and it improves support for Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10, 12.04. This tutorial is about to easily install ATI AMD Catalyst drivers for your cards in Ubuntu/Mint and Ubuntu derivatives.
First thing's first, if you have a ATI fglrx driver already installed, remove it with this command:
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
To install AMD Catalyst drivers in Ubuntu, Linux Mint & other Ubuntu distros, open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fglrx
If you want to uninstall Drivers enter these commands:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
That'll be all. Enjoy!
