ATI Driver installation Mint 12
- update your system
- Disable ATI Driver from "Additional Drivers"
- Open synaptic package manager, open setting/repositories and select SOURCE CODE
- search for "kernel" and install (kernel-package,linux-source,linux-headers\linux-headers x64--for x64,(some may already be install)
- Open terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
- reboot
- Download ATI driver http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
- Open terminal cd to download directory and type:
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-*.run
- install default installation,DONT generate Ubuntu 11.10 package!
- reboot when done!
to make sure its all good in terminal type:
fglrxinfo

Linux Mint 14 Driver Installation
To use a more updated version of the driver in Mint 14, proceed as follows:
- 1) Download the latest version from AMD
- 2) Make sure you remove any older driver
sudo aptitude purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle xserver-xorg-video-radeon
- 3) Modify execution permission for the AMD Driver Installer:
chmod +x nameoftheinstaller.run
- 4) And run it with --buildpkg Ubuntu/quantal:
sudo ./nameoftheinstaller.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/quantal
It will download any required files, build packages compatible with Mint, and all you'll need to do is install them by hand (using gdebi-gtk) or dpkg as follows;
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Reboot & Enjoy!
If you want to remove it, just do the same command as 1), but without xserver-xorg-video-radeon.
This works because Linux Mint 14 is based on Ubuntu quantal. Tested with stable and beta drivers from outside the repositories that wouldn't install properly using the standard install procedure.
