I don't presently have Precise installed, but I'm near 100% that the
installer did NOT work under Precise.
When I used the official Ubuntu GUI for closed-source drivers, I would
be told the installation failed, although no reason was given to me.
When I used the AMD-provided installer scripts, IIRC the later
versions of those scripts installed, but then when I ran "aticonfig
--initial" I was told that no supported cards were detected.
In fact, I'm currently running the driver provided by the
"fglrx-legacy" package in someone's PPA, and while accelerated video
is working ("glxinfo" produces copious, happy output), I have the "AMD
Unsupported hardware" watermark in the bottom-left corner of my
screen.
