Construction Notice
Since Ubuntu Natty/11.04 is still under construction, so is this page. Until Natty is released, the Maverick guide ( http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide ) will serve as the main source of info on ATI Catalyst. This page will only note items that are relevant to Natty, but not Maverick.
Patching Catalyst 10-12 Source
Catalyst 10-12 needs patched for compliance with kernel version 2.6.37 before you can install it.
$ cd ~/; mkdir catalyst10.12; cd catalyst10.12/ $ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run $ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run $ ./ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run --extract driver $ cd driver $ wget http://ubuntuone.com/p/WVN/firegl_public.c $ wget http://ubuntuone.com/p/WVU/Makefile $ mv firegl_public.c common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ $ mv Makefile common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/ $ ./ati-installer.sh 8.801 --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
Catalyst and Unity
At this time, Catalyst doesn't work with the new Ubuntu desktop (Unity). You can still use the classic GNOME desktop (or another desktop environment).
