Comment 27 for bug 647802

The driver that comes with Ubuntu, 11.10 or 12.04 doesn't seem to work very
well and is outdated.
Completely remove the Ubuntu supplied driver and install the v12.3
(3/28/2012) driver from
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
It doesn't work perfectly, but it is much better, I actually have triple
monitors working with this driver.
