  2. jediael@jediael-Aspire-5532:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
  3. You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
  4. If there will be no more driver updates made by AMD, than this repository will not support Ubuntu 13.10 and beyond. Use open source drivers instead (installed by default). If for some reason you still need Legacy Catalyst for Ubuntu 13.10, please consider this:
  5. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181190&p=12823425#post12823425
  6.  
  7. This repository provides AMD Catalyst Lagacy 13.1 (fglrx 8.97.100.7) drivers for Radeon HD 2xxx - 4xxx for Ubuntu:
  8. 12.04 Precise Pangolin
  9. 12.10 Quantal Quetzal
  10. 13.04 Raring Ringtail
  11.  
  12. If you are using Ubuntu 12.04.2 make sure you got linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal package installed.
  13.  
  14. Ubuntu 12.04.3 is not supported.
  15.  
  16. If you are using Ubuntu 13.04 the driver might not work very well with Unity. If that the case please consider resetting Unity configuration to default or use other DE.
  17.  
  18. The driver might not work very well with KDE. Adding lines:
  19. "export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1"
  20. "export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2"
  21. in /etc/profile file might help.
  22.  
  23. To use Catalyst Legacy 13.1 you need to do following commands:
  24.  
  25. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
  26. sudo apt-get update
  27. sudo apt-get upgrade
  28. sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy
  29.  
  30. And restart your computer.
  31.  
  32. This repository is downgradeing X-Server to 1.12.4 (which is maximum version supported by the drivers).
  33.  
  34. Quantal:
  35. Driver is patched:
  36. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/993427
  37. (comment 14), so it could work on Linux kernel 3.5.
  38.  
  39. Raring:
  40. Driver is patched:
  41. http://ubuntuone.com/7IYHGmdpcH6SbX3l0GaXwa
  42. , so it could work on Linux kernel 3.8. Patch is taken from Arch:
  43. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/catalyst-total-hd234k/
  44. but I needed to add some Ubuntu specyfic changes.
  45.  
  46. To remove the repository and its packages from the system do following command:
  47. sudo ppa-purge ppa:makson96/fglrx
  48.  
  49. P.S. It was pointed to me, that Radeon HD4670 AGP card is EXCLUDED from the Legacy Driver support.
