Question

I have followed the following link :-

http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-install-ati-amd-catalyst-122.html

to install the amd graphic drivers on my HP laptop. Just wanted to confirm if they are installed correctly.

Thanks Ankit

Run lspci, the device named VGA controller would be the device. Similar to http://askubuntu.com/questions/28033/how-to-check-the-information-of-current-installed-video-drivers — atenz, Jul 19 '12 at 09:15

run konsole or other terminal app, type "glxinfo" (without quotes) and press enter. Scroll to the top of the output and find "client glx vendor string:" if there is no mesa or SGI, you have won. Or... just reboot and run Catalyst control panel.

the command glxinfo isn't there; does this reflect incorrect installation? – Ankit Jul 19 '12 at 09:56

From the Wiki for the AMD Linux Driver verifying page

Run this command in terminal

 fglrxinfo

for example it will show something like

display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Radeon X1600 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.1.7415 Release
