Download the ATI driver first
8.40.4 only supports 9500 or more graphics cards, and old graphics cards are not supported (32/64-bit communication)
Download

The 8.41 driver must support the HD series, that is, the 2XXX series video card. Do not update the video if it is not HD!
Download

Select the appropriate driver
Download to the desktop, rename it, and remove-X86.X86 _ 64. If the original is ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.x86_64.run to ati-driver-installer-8.40.4.run
 
Install the necessary tool code for compilation:

Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc ++ 5 linux-headers-$ (uname-r)
 
Create deb package
Note: To execute the following command, you must use the cd command on the terminal to go to the current directory of the driver you downloaded.
For example, if my driver is downloaded to the desktop, right-click the driver file and select its attributes, view its location, and copy its location.

For example

 

Location:/home/zero/Desktop

Zero is my user name. If you are ABC and you are all on the Desktop, your location is/hom/ABC/Desktop.

Enter cd/home/zero/Desktop on the terminal.
You can enter cd ...........
 
If it is 6.10 Edgy: code:
Sh *. run -- buildpkg Ubuntu/edgy
 
UBUNTU7.10 or 7.04 Feisty: code:
Sh *. run -- buildpkg Ubuntu/feisty
Wait for the desktop to generate four DEB packages.
 
Shield fglrx core modules
Code:
Sudo gedit/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
Run the following code:
DISABLED_MODULES = ""
Change to code:
DISABLED_MODULES = "fglrx"
 
Deb package installation code:
Sudo dpkg-I xorg-driver-fglrx _ *. deb fglrx-kernel-source *. deb fglrx-amdcccle *. deb
 
Remove the old fglrx
If you do this for the first time, you will be prompted that this file cannot be found. Leave him alone. Continue. Code:
Sudo rm/usr/src/fglrx-kernel *. deb
Sudo apt-get-f install
 
Compile the kernel module and install the Code:
Sudo module-assistant prepare
Sudo module-assistant update
Sudo module-assistant build fglrx
Cd/usr/src
Sudo dpkg-I fglrx-kernel -*
Sudo depmod-
To prevent some DEB packages from being installed, you can open the desktop package and try to install it.
