The modern Linux distributions today support most of the drivers and the system after installation, users can use almost immediately. However, just like Windows, with the machine using a discrete graphics card such as ATI or nVidia, the Linux system would require all to install a special driver. Thereby, the system can exploit the strengths of GPU graphics as well as avoid the state of suspension, shock during use. Meanwhile I installed the new drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 5450 on Ubuntu 4.12, in general there is nothing new, but I would gather from a few sources with content much better than it's Vietnamese.

You can install Ubuntu by opening the lens, look for Additional Driver, select the "ATI / AMD proprietary fglrx graphics driver" and click "Activate" on the lower right corner. The tool will automatically find, download and install the driver. After installation, you'll notice the familiar icon in Ubuntu AMD Catalyst Lens. The time now with ATI, AMD has recently updated drivers for Linux to version 6.12 to support the Linux Kernel 3.4. Accordingly, the AMD Catalyst 6.12 driver support for additional GPU (R600/R700) and Xorg-Server 1.12.
