    Installin AMD Radeon driver

    I have a Radeon HD 8510G video card. I downloaded the Linux 64 bit driver from amd.com. I run ./amd-driver-installer-14.501.1003-x86.x86_64.run and get the following output:

    Created directory fglrx-install.1N1DSo
    Verifying archive integrity... All good.
    Uncompressing AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver
    ================================================== ===================
    AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver Installer/Packager
    ================================================== ===================
    Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.1N1DSo

    And no installation window pops up like it does when I did this in Ubuntu.

    I don't think there will be an installer window. Once the command prompt is back, it is done,I think. Did you get a prompt for your password? If you didn't use sudo when running the command, it probably did not install.

    If it did not, I recommend going to system settings, and use the driver manager to install it, instead. Much easier, and made specifically for (k)Ubuntu.
