I'm thinking of downloading the drivers stated in the title but i've "heard" that it's not compatible with the latest ubuntu version. Is that true?

  • Stick to the repo drivers for now and use the 'post updates' package to upgrade. I have heard things about unity and 11.9 and I like a working system, so I stayed away for now. – duffydack Oct 22 '11 at 22:54
  • Ok. I tried to download the ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates) but when i press Activate it says: "sorry installation of this driver failed : please have a look at the log for details: /var/log/jockey.log – Oskar Oct 22 '11 at 23:08
  • the post update drivers are 11.9, dont use them! – Bruno Pereira Oct 23 '11 at 00:14
  • Yeah, i'm running the other one now (older one i suppose) and it works fine. Thanks everyone for the help :) – Oskar Oct 23 '11 at 00:18
  • have a look here, dont use 11.9 for now because of the problems ppl are having. post-release is 11.9! – Bruno Pereira Oct 23 '11 at 00:18

Yes the latest drivers ATI drivers give more problems than the previous ones specially using Gnome3 desktop. Its an ATI thing.

I would wait before using 11.9 packages on 11.10.

Have a look here to see the difference between available driver versions in Ubuntu.

Many problems. Use the 11.8 which come with the installaton of 11.10. Even these have problems especially with multi monitors support. In case you run into problems with multi monitor support in 11.10 check this out.
