** Description changed:

  I tried to enable the propriety driver for my 6470 HD Radeon card.  I
  used the "Additional Drivers" in the system settings  page, running
  ubuntu 11.10.  Two options come up:
  
  ATI/AMD proprietry FGLRX graphics driver
  and 
  ATI/AMD proprietry FGLRX graphics driver (post release updates).
  
  I install the first one, reboot, and check the "Additional Drivers"
  again.  The first driver is indicated that it is active, however when I
  run fglrxinfo at the command line I get:
  
  X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
    Major opcode of failed request:  155 (GLX)
    Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
    Serial number of failed request:  12
    Current serial number in output stream:  12
  
  So I don't think it is installed.  I then try to install the second
  driver with the post release update.  This one never seems to  install.
  And it never comes up as being activated, despite numerous attempts.
  
  So trying I try to do the install from the command line.  Running an
  apt-get reinstall fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev.  This appears to
  install but I get the same result when I run fglrxinfo.
  
  I am tempted to do the installation outlined :
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  but surely this
  should all work without having all this pain.
  
  Any ideas?
