The situation with WINE is a lot less clear. Is the bug in WINE, in AMD's proprietary driver, or both? Probably each of these, if you go on a case by case basis.

No "if"s or "but"s about it. It has nothing to do with browsers, it has nothing to do with graphics drivers, be it open source or proprietary. It's all in flash.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and I installed the new driver with these instruktions:
What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD?I am planning on doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and want to know what is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Driver? There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over s...
And I had no problems at all with the installation and didn't need no patch to make it work.
I noticed a big differance in performance on dota2....but that said, I had to admit that I only install stable drivers, so haven't used any beta drivers.

For anyone interested in pre-compiled drivers for Ubuntu: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...dates/?C=M;O=D
Just grab the 3 ( fglrx-updates, fglrx-amdcccle-updates, fglrx-updates-dev) pretaining to your arch (x86 or x64), install them, do the initilization step to generate a xorg conf, reboot, win. Works fine (from what I can tell) on Xubuntu 13.10 on my 7850.
You may need other packages installed, but if dpkg mentions any, just install them.

Anyway:- ./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --extract NewDirectory
- Apply the patch as described by Vi0L0 in the previous post
- sudo ./ati-installer.sh 13.251 --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
- And install the build packages, placed one directory up
More importantly though, why has AMD put the drivers up like this on their stable release page? Horrendous.
