I have tried installing proprietary drivers from the "Software & Updates dialog" and also from ATI's latest driver page.

The problem I am facing is that the binaries aren't in the path, and trying to run them with the full path gives me the following error.

atoulan@atoulan-laptop:~$ sudo /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig 
Unable to open /etc/ati/control, please reinstall the driver.
/usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

Here is the output from lspci:

atoulan@atoulan-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mars [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8750M] (rev ff)

and uname:

atoulan@atoulan-laptop:~$ uname -a
Linux atoulan-laptop 3.13.0-29-lowlatency #53-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 4 21:27:51 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

According to AMD's page my card should be supported by this driver. Of course every time I try out a new driver I purge the old ones.

Can anyone tell me how to install this driver properly ?

Thanks.

Try this, as mentioned in this question:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig /usr/bin/aticonfig
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/etc/ati/ /etc/ati

You may just miss these symbolic links.

    I have been banging my head against the wall because of this. Truly thank you :)

  • Although this helped me get a little further, the resulting xorg config would not work for me. I had to reinstall the driver directly, without building packages, for it to work.
