Comment 40 for bug 999638

Hi,

this problem can be solved if you install the current ATI drivers (Catalyst 12.10) from the AMD Page.
Before you run the ati installer you need to install those packages first:

*1) First, check the software sources, then paste this command into the terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs dh-make dkms execstack dh-modaliases fakeroot

*2) If you have a 64 bit system, do this step:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 lib32gcc1 libc6-i386
cd /usr
sudo ln -svT lib /usr/lib64
*(Just copy this from a tutorial - don't really know if it's really needed, because i use 12.04 32-Bit)

Then install the .run script from ati with 'sudo sh amd*.run'. Notice that you download the correct package (notebook -> APU -> C-Series -> ...).

After i have rebooted my netbook i initialized my X Config with 'sudo aticonfig --initial'.
Now EVERYTHING works really nice. Even the heat is lower now.

Hope it works for you all.
