A bit of a tall order for someone just trying to figure out how to install the driver, eh?
Let me step in for a moment so we can start fresh...
Let's get you back to the default open source Radeon driver. Trying to install both could make moving on difficult.
Just to be sure we have cleared out the attempted install from the AMD website:
Code:
sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
This may fail. Don't worry about it if it does.
Remove what was installed from the repo:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
Code:
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak2
Then:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Reboot. You should now be on the default open source Radeon driver.
