I've decided to install the proprietary AMD/ATI driver in Ubuntu 12.04 repo, but before I do so, I'd like to know:
Will Ubuntu 12.04's proprietary AMD/ATI driver be updated to 12.5, 12.6, etc. once AMD releases them?
And if so, should I install "fglrx" or "fglrx-updates" ( I think this is the post release update ) one?
Thanks

Ok, I installed
fglrx
andfglrx-amdcccle
via Jockey aka "Additional Hardware GUI app".Everything seems to be working ok.
Packages in the Ubuntu 12.04 repo (2012-05-08):
So it looks like "fglrx" and "fglrx-updates" are the same thing.
Here are some bug reports about installing AMD/ATI driver via Jockey:
Hope this helps
