I've installed 12.04, updated it, and tried installing the 12.11 beta driver form the link in #6. In case I did something wrong, here are my steps: 1. Download and extract the file. 2 In the directory of the extracted file, I ran sudo sh file.run The installer program came up, but it only returns the message "Your graphics adapter is not supported by this driver. Installation will not proceed." I tried building an Ubuntu package for the driver but that also failed.
I haven't yet tried the workaround in bug #1058040 that involves downgrading X.Org, but it seems like any attempts to run a newer driver on 12.10 fail for me. With the open-source drivers my previously whisper-quiet desktop computer sounds like a jet engine when playing a video full-screen, so I think I'm going to have to either go back to 12.04 or update my graphics card. (I'd been meaning to do the latter anyway - the firestream card isn't really appropriate for what I use it for.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075035 Title: 1002:9452 fglrx graphics broken on upgrade with AMD FireStream 9250 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1075035/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
