Been using the open source 'radeon' driver on my system up until now because of a bug effecting nforce4 chipsets on motherboards. Last month's release of Catalyst 10.7 fixed that bug, and I attempted to install 10.8 on a fresh install of lucid 32-bit.
Whenever I installed fglrx, the command 'aticonfig' is apparently not found. I'd have to run the following to remove the failed install or else I'd run in low graphics mode on next reboot:
This is odd considering the binary is located in the proper place and manually executing it at that location results in the following message:
I've attempted to install fglrx through multiple ways, failing every time. So far, building deb packages straight from the official ati installer, using ubuntu's X-SWAT PPA, and Kano's script.

My system specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600
ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB
ASUS A8M2N-LA mothboard
In retrospect, I've installed hardy onto a separate partition and installed cataylst 9.3 and everything had installed correctly.
