How to Install Linux Amd/Ati Driver?

[Mik James]

I'm using Linux Lite and the driver from the amd website for the
Radeon Hd 6950 is only available in a .run format.

Clicking the .run file doesn't open any sort of installer.

Thanks in advance

You don't install drivers in Linux the same way you do Windows. Follow this guide instead:

sudo aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') fglrx-driver fglrx-amdcccle

I used the built in driver installer mentioned on the Linux Lite page.
Seems to have worked, thanks
