我有一台 ATI 5670 HD。我运行的是 ubuntu 12.10 64 位。我费了好大劲才安装最新的显卡驱动程序。除了显卡之外，其他一切似乎都正常。这是在新分区上的全新安装。
我严格按照这里的说明进行操作：http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide
而且我的卡肯定受驱动程序支持，我确信这一点，因为在另一个分区中我有一个 32 位系统，其中 Catalyst 13.1 和 13.2 都可以完美运行：
sudo lshw -C video
PCI (sysfs)
*-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: Redwood [Radeon HD 5670]
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm pciexpress msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:d0000000-dfffffff memory:fbee0000-fbefffff ioport:e000(size=256) memory:fbec0000-fbedffff
然后我尝试使用这个工具（它基本上重复了指南上的说明）：http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install
无论我在系统上安装哪种驱动程序（13.1,13.2），最终得到的结果总是一样的。

我追踪了我认为是手动安装过程中的问题：

在同一台计算机上安装的 32 位 Ubuntu 上进行重复安装时，“更新替代方案”部分并未出现：

答案1
通过重复初始过程（来自粉丝俱乐部的应用程序或上面页面上的说明），我能够启动并运行它：
sudo apt-get install linux-source
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
我不确定这三个中哪一个是“完成”了这件事的，但在安装它们之后，我能够成功完成整个过程。
