AMD/ATI no longer provides a Linux driver for the HD 4xxx searies, nothing you can do.
Alright But before i close this thread i have 2 questions.
Someone has suggested me to follow this from askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36889...13-04-to-13-10
And then told me to use this guide:http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...2FEXPERIMENTAL
should i or its simply not worth trying.
my second question is, if i shouldnt try both those methods, Should i dual boot windows for my games?
Thank you for your reply in advance
Those are poor suggestions as they aren't relevant to your older GPU.
If the open-source driver's 3D performance is not up to your liking, then that may be be the best solution.Should i dual boot windows for my games?
To get the best performance out of open source driver in Saucy, use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers
I would also suggest the "radeon.dpm=1" trick to reduce power consumption: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ra...y.29_and_Later
The last option is to install an older version of Ubuntu (i.e. 12.04.1) that supports the proprietary fglrx/Catalyst Legacy driver. I personally wouldn't recommend it, but some people who don't mind running older versions of Ubuntu would prefer it.
