Public bug reported:
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 get this as output while installing the resulting
fglrx_8.970-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb file
Loading new fglrx-8.970 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...

I was told that I may not be able to have 12.6 install in quantal, but I
tried, and I'm willing to keep trying. 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.
