+Note 1:
 In the linked directions they use fglrx version 12.4.  At the time of making this edit beta version 12.6 also works just fine.  If you want to run the bleeding edge, it can be found here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
 With the 12.6 beta version you will get a watermark in the lower right hand corner.  After you have everything working properly run this script: http://www.areyoueye.net/scripts/watermark_nix.sh  It will get rid of that water mark.
