Patching Catalyst 10-12 Source

(This section to be removed once Catalyst supports Xserver 1.10) 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/
$ sudo ./ati-installer.sh 8.801 --buildpkg Ubuntu/natty
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb

[edit] 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).
