I just built a desktop computer using an ASRock E350M1 board, powered by an AMD Fusion E-350 APU (AMD Radeon HD 6310 GPU Model). I installed Ubuntu 10.04. Did all the updates. Almost everything works great: I can see movies (DVD), surf, etc., but I cannot play games –screen frames are very, very slow. I have not installed any hardware drivers. When I search (in Ubuntu) for the hardware drivers, none are found.
I found here, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardware that the graphics card is officially supported: PALM | Radeon HD 6250/6310
If this is of any help, this is what I entered on the terminal:
lspci -nn | grep VGA
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Device
[1002:9802]^C sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
[sudo] password for pat:

Done debconf is already the newest version. libstdc++6
is already the newest version. libqtgui4 is already the newest
version. libqtgui4 set to manually installed. wget is already the
newest version. E: Couldn't find package dh-modaliases
I do not know what to do from here.
Questions:
- Where can I locate the drivers?
- How do I install the drivers?

I think you would have to download and install AMDs proprietary driver from their website.
For 32 and 64-bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
after downloading right click on the file and mark it as executable under properties. Now open a terminal and type in
the installer will guide you through the installation.
After the installation was succesful, type into the terminal
and finally
