I have tried and failed to install the proprietary driver for my ATI card.

Whether I use the "jockey" or install from the repos or if I download
from AMD site I still fail.


Anyone has had any luck and can point me in the right direction?

Best regards
Sinclair

It would be useful to know:
- Your Kubuntu version
- Your card model
- The failure message.

the kubuntu version is 11.10 64-bit as stated in the subject line.
The card is ATI Radeon HD5450
the error message I got when running it "outside Jockey" complained
about not finding a directory, I am afraid I forgot exactly what but it
had to do with 64-bit somehow.


Do not want to do it again unless someone can say the managed as it was
a bit of a headache to reverse.

I had it running installed through Jockey with an ATI Radeon HD5450 Mobility
so it should be possible. That was 11.04 though and I don't remember if I did
anything special.

My best advice is:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Ubuntu+11.10+jockey+ATI+Radeon+HD5450
