Don't forget to "apt-get purge" any of the remaining fglrx fragments from your repo-supplied drivers first though. Alternatively, grab the latest ubuntu-specific versions from xorg-edgers, which is probably a better choice (standard apt-get updates, repackaged for ubuntu, etc): sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Might have more to say on this very shortly as a client is going to be taking delivery of an AMD FirePro S10k which is about as cutting edge as it gets, and will no doubt be a %*£($% to get working properly.
