Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug.
AMD/ATI has decided to drop the support for Linux on cards 2xxx-4xxx. This is why you couldn't find clear instructions on how to install the fglrx driver.
http:// www.phoronix. com/scan. php?page= article& item=amd_ catalyst_ legacy2& num=1
Ubuntu (and Linux in general) cannot do anything about that.
In case you want to use the fglrx driver , I would suggest to stick in a version of Ubuntu which xserver-xorg-core package is under 1.12 version. (e.g Ubuntu 12.04.1)
or
you can use radeon driver which is included in Ubuntu and is enabled by default.
Best Regards
