I did a fresh install on a Gigabyte MB with an onboard ATI RS880 / Radeon HD4200
Downloaded amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.zip, unzipped an ran it.
First it complained about a missing file:
/lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux/version.h
After creating the dir ** /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-desktop/build/include/linux/**
and then creating the file version.h with
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 198410
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
The script ran through with the following error message generated in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.
