Ubuntu:ATI

From Linux 101, The beginner's guide to all things Linux.

First install the xorg-driver-fglrx package:

sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control

Now switch X-Windows over to the new driver:

sudo aticonfig --initial

If you are currently logged into the system graphically, logout. When the login screen appears, press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. This will reload the graphical system.

If you are logged into a command prompt, restart the graphical subsystem:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

Note: You might want to install the fglrx-control package, which provides a control panel to configure graphics card options such as dual-head display (two monitors).
