[Bug 1382563] [NEW] Cant install proprietary drivers/fglrx

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

I have been trying to install proprietary ati drivers from amd website
but every time I reboot system it boots into black screen after which I
have to purge them.

Second problem arises when I try to install fglrx from Ubuntu repos
through terminal which doesnt allow me to install drivers without
removing wine/playonlinux.Now I am stuck with open-source ones
