What does an AMD driver need? How to normally install it on Linux?
I wanted to put the driver on the HD4250, went to the product site and downloaded it for x64.
After unpacking, I gave the rights to run in the properties of the .run file and launched it through the terminal:
Created directory fglrx-install.A4LZ3p
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

For fglrx you need a 13-14 distro. With kernel 3.xx and old X's.
If I were you, I'd sit in the open.
