Is there a trick to installing this in the new Ubuntu? I don't think it is doing anything, but I see no errors. Maybe some tools package I used to have installed and lost on my fresh reinstall?
Code:Created directory fglrx-install.XKZ39Z Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I have to say, this latest driver is amazing. I have installed 11.5 on Ubuntu on an ageing laptop, and am very impressed at how smooth everything is. I'm using Extra Visual Effects, and I'm just blown away at how nice it is. For a 3 year old laptop, I could not desire any better performance than this. Thank you AMD.

To go from unusable to very usable, no tearing etc. after such obvious difficulty, well, AMD obviously did more than a token effort and I think it's worthy of praise. I know nvidia's Linux driver has been good in all that time, but at least AMD open sourced their stuff.
