lien_meat, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, AMD's proprietary catalyst driver (12.6) from their site is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative: 1. http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - information about Ubuntu repositories 2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - information regarding managing repositories ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1068411 1002:9712 fglrx driver doesn't recognize my ATI RS880M Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068877 Title: fglrx (not installed): fglrx kernel module failed to build Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Using AMD's proprietary catalyst driver (12.6) from their site for my card (HD 4850), I cannot successfully build the dkms module (I think) via any method. I tried the normal catalyst install gui with automatic install, custom, tried building the packages via the gui, and lastly, followed this guide to try to make it work: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers (yes I do realized this is for 12.04, but it's all I had to go on...)

I would just use the opensource drivers if they weren't terrible for games and videos, but they are. If anyone can give me guidance, or help me help everyone (cause I know I'm not the only one) figure this out, I'm willing to do some work to make that happen.
