Hi, I'm a little confused, I want to install ubuntu or xubuntu 12.04.2 my graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 3000 Series, the latest driver is AMD Catalyst ™ 13.1 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver according to the Description says:
"Automated installer and Display Drivers for Xorg 6.9 to Xserver 1.12 and Kernel version up to 3.4"

In the release notes of "* buntu 12.04.2 LTS" says brings a new Kernel 3.5.0-23.35. My question is my ATI/AMD driver supports "Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS" ?.

Thanks...:o

Sorry to tell you this, but AMD has abandoned Linux driver support for the HD 2x/3x/4x series cards. Starting with Ubuntu 12.04.2, the X-server version was upgraded such that it is incompatible with the AMD fglrx drivers. With 12.04.2, all you can use now is the default open-source AMD drivers.

Thanks for the advice, I think I will use the default open-source AMD drivers.
