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 modeand 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 :
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccleNow install them fresh :
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccleAfter the installation is done use the command given below
sudo amdconfig --initialNow 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
1I have had same problem first you have to install flgrx update, and then reboot it give the error, and then you have to enter the tty push Ctrl + alt + f6, and then you have to type this in the tty:
sudo apt-get install lxdeand then this
startxand it starts the LXDE, and then enter start button and use preferencs, and then the upper gfx card Adm menu, and set every thing to default, and then you can reboot and Ubuntu works whit the flgrx update.
