Zhao, Have you read the install notes for the drivers particularly the following /"Note: You must be logged in with superuser privileges (as root or with sudo access) in order to successfully install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver."/
I am wondering why the directory /var/lib/dkms/fglrx directory is not present. Is this because you are not running with superuser privileges and the install script could not create this directory along with it's contents? You should be running the command (or something similar): sudo ./ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run Please note the following howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI I don't think I cam help you more.
