Public bug reported:

Hello. I can't select and save the proprietary drivers in the "Software
and Updates" in the "Additional Drivers" section. It allows me to select
using a proprietary driver, but when I click "Apply Changes," it jumps
right back to the X Org X server option.

I've also tried "sudo apt-get install fglrx" and some variants thereof, but end up getting a response back such as :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
