Bug Description

I have an ATI HD 4850 and eOS recommends I install the FGLRX driver.

However if you let it do so it tries to install the current driver which only supports 5xxx + series.
This causes problems with running applications and you have to purge the fglrx install.

For my card and similar older cards the legecy-fglrx drivers should be used.

Could you try if your issue is still valid for Freya/Loki ?

Also, Jason, where does elementary OS recommend you to install fglrx? Is it in the OS installer?
