Thanks. I tried that: sudo ./ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run
But I get this: [Error]A previous installation of fglrx driver detected to be loaded. User must uninstall existing fglrx driver or run install with force option. Forcing the installation is not recommended. I also tried to run: sudo aptitude purge fglrx And then run the latest ATI install, but it always complains about fglrx still being installed.
