Cannot configure fglxr after installation of legacy driver on 12.04
I am encountering a problem when installing the proprietary driver for my ATI Radeon HD 4870. I require the closed-source
driver to be able to use Steam properly. I am using 12.04 as the newest versions of x-server and x-org do not support
the legacy driver for my GPU anymore and downgrading leads to extensive problems with Unity (I have tried that before).
I followed the procedure described under 3.1 here: https:/
The installation works fine until the last point, I get an error message:
The second and third warnings are in German, but the problem is the same (I translated the first one).
1. update-
update-
2. update-
update-
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
I'm sorry that part of this is in German, as my system language is German, but I still wanted to post here so that not only German Ubuntu users read this. If there are any programs I can prompt through the terminal that may be able to supply useful information, I would be happy to do so. When I enter "sudo aticonfig --initial" I get the message "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected".
