volevo un attimo fare riferimento alla guida inserita sul sito ati dove indica i requisiti di sistema:
System Requirements
Before attempting to install the ATI CatalystTM Linux software suite, the follow-
ing software must be installed:
• XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
• Linux Kernel 2.6 and above
• glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
• POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D applications
The ATI CatalystTM Linux software suite no longer provides precompiled Kernel
Modules; all installations require GCC compiler and kernel-headers or ker-
nel-source in order to enable 2D and 3D acceleration.
For best performance and ease of use, AMD recommends the following:
• Kernel module build environment
• Kernel source code include either the Kernel Source or Kernel Headers
packages
• The RPM utility should be installed and configured correctly on your system,
if you intend to install via RPM packages
• The following packages must be installed in order for the ATI CatalystTM
Linux driver to install and work properly:
• XFree86-Mesa-libGL
• libstdc++
• libgcc
• XFree86-libs
• fontconfig
• freetype
• zlib
• gcc

Minimum System Requirements
Before attempting to install the ATI Proprietary Linux driver, the following soft-
ware must be installed:
• POSIX Shared Memory (/dev/shm) support is required for 3D apps
• glibc version 2.2 or 2.3
• Linux kernel 2.6 or higher
• XOrg 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4
Note: If a Linux 2.6.11 or newer kernel was built with CONFIG_AGP
enabled, the kernel AGP frontend is required to load the fglrx kernel
module. To identify whether your kernel was built with CONFIG_AGP
enabled, look for CONFIG_AGP=y in the kernel config file, or if the
'agpgart' module is loaded.
System Recommendations
For best performance and ease of use, ATI recommends the following:
• Kernel module build environment
• Kernel source code includes either the Kernel Source or Kernel Headers
packages
• The RPM utility should be installed and configured correctly on your system,
if you intend to install via RPM packages
ATI CatalystTM Linux Installer Note 2
• The following packages must be installed in order for the CatalystTM Linux
driver to install and work properly:
• XFree86-Mesa-libGL
• libstdc++
• libgcc
• XFree86-libs
• fontconfig
• freetype
• zlib
• gcc
Note: In order to use the fglrx internal AGP support, you have to make
sure that the kernel agpgart support is not active (i.e. it is not compiled
into the kernel and the kernel modules are not loaded). If the fglrx kernel
module detects that the kernel agpgart support is active, it will automati-
cally use that even if its internal AGP support is requested in order to
avoid conflicts that can cause problems under some circumstances.
e sapere se nella versione 8.10 di ubuntu sono o devono essere installati... io ho provato a cercarne qualcuno ma sembrano assenti

poi nelle note sotto viene indicato che se ho un supporto agp lo dovrei disabilitare dal kernel almeno così mi sembra di aver capito, io ho una scheda agp ma non so come disabilitare o modificare tale cosa.
