This is all you need to do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic fglrx-updates
If you've already installed some combination of the driver you can try installing linux-headers-generic and see if that fixes the issue. If not, uninstall everything like this:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
And then run the command above, reboot, and it should work. Note that I tried restarting lightdm after installing the driver and it didn't work right, I had to do a full reboot for it to work.
This is what worked for me
Removed previous fglrx failed attempt
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*
Then installing linux-source (not sure if this step is needed but it's what I did)
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-source
Then install linux-headers-generic
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
And finally install fglrx-updates
Code:
sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates
And restart
I think you can put all the apt-get commands into one but I like to do separately so can keep an eye on em.
