I seem to have a problem with the drivers. I tried everything. Every single fix that I found on this forum and I can't install the proprietary graphic drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 5470.
When I go to additional drivers – I have 3 options:
- Default
- Fglrx
- Fglrx-update
Whenever I try to install some of the 2 or 3, When i restart my laptop, it gives me error:
Low graphic mode
and I can't start my pc unless I boot into recovery and remove the whole Fglrx packages.
I tried downloading and installing from the ATI website, no luck. Still the same error. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

I had exactly the same problem. I used the following technique
Firstly remove all previously installed drivers :
Now install them fresh :
After the installation is done use the command given below
Now reboot your system. Your computer will have drivers and Catalyst Control Center. As the command
sudo amdconfig --initial
is very important as i found it on amd web site some while ago.Note: if you don't want to waste lots of time on downloading and installing firstly try this command
sudo amdconfig --initial
and restart. It may work. But i had to uninstall everything so use the whole post i described.It should definitely work. Best of luck
