HD4870 Driver install and Xinerama

[x3l]

Hello everyone.
Was wondering how to go about installing HD4870 drivers, But more so which to install. I remember on Ubuntu having big big problems with Xinerama and the official ATi drivers.

Hoping somebody could direct me? Last time i used Linux was a while ago I have forgotten most of the commands to install drivers/apps.

Help would be appreciated

The choice is yours but I always do the "Hard way" of installing, have a
look at a few of my previous posts.

Also in the thread here:

Mind the wrap there.

Any probs just holler.

Once you have them installed you can use the command as user:

amdcccle

to get the catalyst GUI to configure your card.

Works for me.

YMMV
