I'm into trouble for few days and I really need help.

So, I've got a new laptop (Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite) and installed Ubuntu 13.04 (64bit). Now everything look good but my graphical display is very bad (launcher doesn't take opacity and always displaying 1px border-right even it's hidden, windows are very slow etc..). Actually I'm not prof-tech-man and I'm just stuck!

Q: What I need to do any more or am missing?

Thanks in advance.

Here is some infos;

kerem@kerem:~$ sudo lshw -c video
*-display UNCLAIMED

You need to install Catalyst.

For your card and kernel, you want 13.6.

Follow these directions exactly, and you should be good to go.

  • @qeremy np! was in the same predicament until i stumbled upon that answer via another q. 13.6 should be out of beta soon. –  Sep 02 '13 at 21:43
  • Hey! I used "AMD Catalyst™ 13.4 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver" not beta on this page (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx) and everything OK. Thank you again! :) – Kerem Sep 03 '13 at 06:46
  • @qeremy oh good! didn't see your card on the list. –  Sep 03 '13 at 11:49
