Can someone give me a hand with a HD 4650 SAPPHIRE driver? I searched on the official site and this is what I get:

AMD Catalyst™ Driver for AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series

AMD has moved to the AMD Radeon™ HD 4000, AMD Radeon HD 3000, and AMD Radeon HD 2000 Series new driver support model.(...)

Applicable Products:

This article applies to the following configuration(s): Hardware:

AMD Radeon HD 4000 Series / AMD Radeon HD 3000 Series / AMD Radeon HD 2000 Series / AMD Radeon HD Series AGP / AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4000 Series / AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series / AMD Mobility Radeon HD 2000 Series /

And a link to a single driver: AMD Catalyst™ 12.6 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver (Automated installer and Display Drivers for X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, or 7.6)

Last time I installed this driver it gaved me some error (can't remember what it was) and I couldn't install nothing no more due to some FGLRX & dpgk error. Any solutions?

  • Wish me luck! I'm rebooting the computer now. I couldn't wait any longer so I installed the driver manually from the official site this time without errors. I'll come with an add after rebooting. – Unix Axwell Aug 16 '12 at 08:43
  • #ADD: well, it looks like it's working (the gnome theme has that dash active again) but I can seem to activate the window effects...They are thiked in the Compiz Manager, but not working... – Unix Axwell Aug 16 '12 at 08:54

You need to remove all the current fglrx packages from your system

if any of these returns errors ie: file not found, package not found ignore it

Type in terminal Ctrl-Alt-T

sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*

Once this is done follow these instructions to install the correct driver from the officical AMD site

OR

If you want to install the Official ubuntu binarys go-to System Settings >> Additional Drivers and select the Driver thats recommended

Open the Dash,

Search for Additional Drivers.

Open it.

And Activate the driver if necessary.

If Varun's suggestion fails (in my case it did) you can install the drivers manually.

A nice step-by-step explanation can be found at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
