After Ubuntu 12.10 is installed, everything runs normally, and there is a major problem with the video card, that is, it cannot be restored when the standby mode is suspended, and a black screen is displayed directly. Install Ubuntu automatic ati/amd open source driver desktop what all wood problems, a blank unity will not start, if Ubuntu 12.04 can also enter the unity-2d

I had to install the amd driver on my own.

My driver model: AMD Radeon HD 6xxx

Amd DRIVER: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx

Official installation instructions: http://www2.ati.com/relnotes/Catalyst_11.10_Linux_Installer.pdf

The procedure is as follows:

Code:

$ 7z x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip

Code:

$ Sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run

Error message:

Reference:

One or more tools required for installation cannot be found on the system.

Install the required tools before installing the fglrx driver. Optionally, run the installer with -- force option to install without the tools.

Forcing install will disable amd hardware acceleration and may make your system unstable. Not recommended.

See usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log for more details.

The solution is as follows:

Code:

$ Sudo apt-get update

$ Yes | sudo apt-get upgrade

$ Yes | sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic fglrx-updates

Run the command again.

Code:

$ Sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run

After installation, run the following command:

For versions of X. Org newer than 7,

Code:

$ Sudo/usr/bin/aticonfig -- initial

For versions of X. Org older than 7,

Code:

$ Sudo/usr/X11R6/bin/aticonfig -- initial

Restart ubuntu 12.10.

Now, no black screen is available when the standby mode is suspended ~~ Shuang I love Ubuntu 12.10
