ATI Catalyst Control Center gives error (Radeon HD 6470M)

Solution 1:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx 

then for newest ati driver:

wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run

If you have a 64 bit system, then install this before anything:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Once dowloaded right-click the .run file and set it to run as executable.

then.

cd /path_of_the_file       

This is for 32 bit only:

sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run

This is for 64 bit only:

sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty

sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

Once it's done.

  sudo aticonfig --initial -f

that's all you have to do.

Alternatively you can add this ppa.

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install fglrx
